Steps

    2. Enter the below:
      • category = Financial
      • channel (e.g. Online DTC, Amazon)
      • expense_channel = Fulfillment Cost
      • region - If the region you want to add is not a part of the drop down, please let the team know and we will add it.
      • fixed cost/order - This is your fulfillment cost per order
      • date_start
      • date_end

    Note: Date_start and date_end can be used to capture changes in fulfillment costs over time. You will be able to change these date fields historically and in the future in case of updates to fulfillment costs and our data model will update accordingly.

    It is imperative to make sure you include a date_end date as the order/row will not be included if it does not have a date_end date.

    Here’s a VIDEO on how to do that here.
