Improved

Shipping Cost Allocation for FBM Orders Now Supported

You can now allocate shipping costs to both orders and order items, enabling accurate expense tracking for FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) shipments.

Orders

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

Order Items

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
