You can allocate the store-level costs to the products in the store, thus getting more accurate profits at the product level. Support users to select a single store and set monthly allocation.\u00a0<\/p>

Types of cost allocation: coupons, SB advertising expenses, monthly subscription fees, etc. After setting, the Sales Analytics and Financial Analytics of next month will be calculated according to the set allocation rules.<\/p>

Allocation rules:<\/strong> allocate equally, by percentage of purchase units, by percentage of sales. On this basis, there are two more rules for advertising: by percentage of ad purchase units, by percentage of ad sales .<\/p>

Allocation method:<\/strong> there are two ways: automatic allocation and non-automatic allocation.<\/p>

Auto allocation: setting automatic allocation first can save your configuration time.
Rules: Cost type are automatically allocated to the top 100 SKUs in store sales ranking every month according to the set allocation rules.<\/p>

Step 1: Select the store to be allocated and the month, and click \"Auto Allocation Settings\".<\/span><\/p><\/article>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
