Profit Analytics
Analyze transaction-level margins using sale price, weighted average cost, and shipping cost data.
Profit Analytics
The Profit Analytics screen gives you a transaction-level view of product economics—what each item cost, what it sold for, and what was spent on shipping.
It is designed to provide clear profitability visibility for every fulfilled transaction without requiring spreadsheet exports.
Where to Find It
Navigate to Financial → Profit Analytics from the main menu.

What You’ll See
Each row represents a fulfilled transaction, meaning a shipped product tied to a completed order.
The columns include:
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| SKU / Product | The item sold |
| Sale Price | What the customer paid |
| Unit Cost (at time of transaction) | Weighted average unit cost when the order shipped |
| Shipping Cost | Actual shipping cost paid for the order |
| Total Cost | Unit cost plus shipping cost |

How Unit Cost Is Calculated
Analision uses a weighted average cost model that updates as new inventory is received.
Example:
- Receive 10 units at $10 → unit cost = $10.00
- Receive 10 more units at $15 → average across 20 units = $12.50
- Future fulfilled transactions use $12.50 until the average changes again
This means the Unit Cost column always reflects the blended cost at the time of shipment rather than a manually maintained static value.
Why this matters: If supplier costs rise over time, margin compression becomes visible directly in the transaction history.
Calculating Profit Manually
The current view exposes the raw components required for profit analysis:
- Sale Price
- Unit Cost
- Shipping Cost
Use the following formula:
Profit = Sale Price − Unit Cost − Shipping Cost
