π¨ #Amazon quietly launched two very important metrics in Vendor Central:
- Sales Discount, and
- Contra GOGS
This is big news, since these metrics are needed to reconcile Amazon's Net PPM - but Amazon never shared them with 1P Vendors.
Until now.
For context:
- Sales Discount includes any savings given to end shoppers but not reflected in the Average Selling Price.
- Contra COGS summarises the $ value of all trade terms with Amazon.
Both metrics are now available at the account and ASIN level.
πTo access them, follow these steps:
1- Open Vendor Central -> Retail Analytics -> Net PPM.
2- Click on "Customise columns."
3- Select "Sales discount" and "Contra-COGs".
That's it. β
You can even track metric changes Year-over-Year (YoY).
