Improved
You can now allocate shipping costs to both orders and order items, enabling accurate expense tracking for FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) shipments.
When you enter a shipping unit cost at the order level, the amount is proportionally distributed across the order items.
Example:
Order A contains:
Item B × 1
Item C × 2
Shipping unit cost for Order A is set to ¥600.
In this case, the per-item shipping cost is ¥600 ÷ (1 + 2) = ¥200.
So:
Item B’s shipping cost = ¥200 × 1 = ¥200
Item C’s shipping cost = ¥200 × 2 = ¥400
When you directly enter shipping unit costs at the item level, the total shipping cost for the order is calculated by summing them up.
Example:
Order A consists of:
Item B × 1 (Shipping: ¥200)
Item C × 2 (Shipping: ¥200 per unit)
So:
Item B’s shipping = ¥200 × 1 = ¥200
Item C’s shipping = ¥200 × 2 = ¥400
Total shipping cost for Order A = ¥200 + ¥400 = ¥600
