Introduction
This article explains the different measurements available in the TRAEDE Revenue report—how they are calculated and how to use them effectively. Measurements allow you to analyse sales performance from multiple angles, including revenue, returns, cost, and margin.
Using the revenue report measurements
Total quantity
Total quantity is the sum of:
All invoice quantities − all credit note quantities
Example:
If you see –1, it means there were no sales for the period but one item was returned (credit note).
Net revenue
Net revenue is calculated as:
Invoice revenue − credit note revenue
If only credit notes exist for the period (and no invoices), the value will be negative.
Net revenue reflects the final earned amount after returns.
Revenue
Revenue shows the total invoiced amount without subtracting credit notes.
Use Revenue when you want to understand:
What was actually invoiced in the period
How many returns relate to those invoices
This measure is especially useful when combined with Returns and Claims.
Returns & claims
Activating Returns and Claims helps you see:
What was invoiced
What was returned
How the returns compare to the revenue
Example:
If a product shows returns higher than sales, it indicates negative performance for the period.
Relationship between revenue types
You can think of the measurements like this:
Revenue
– Returns
– Claims
= Net revenue
Or in expanded view:
Revenue = all invoices
Returns = returned invoice lines
Claims = deductions or credits
Net revenue = the final outcome
Cost
Cost refers to the landed cost of the product at the moment the invoice was booked.
Every time TRAEDE creates an invoice, it records the booked landed cost of each variant on that invoice.
The cost measurement in the report sums these values for the period.
This tells you the total cost of goods sold.
Margin & margin percentage
Margin is calculated as:
Net revenue − Cost
This shows how much you earned after subtracting landed cost.
Margin percentage is:
Margin ÷ Net revenue × 100%
This tells you the profitability rate for the selected period or grouping.
Measurements at row and section level
Measurements are calculated at:
Row level – each product, customer, or category
Section level – row groups such as:
Categories
Seasons
Collections
Countries
Example:
If you group by Top categories, you can instantly see:
Total net revenue for Accessories
Total cost for Accessories
Margin percentage for Accessories
TRAEDE sums all items within the group and calculates the margin for the entire group—not just each line.
Measurement order
The order in which you activate measurements determines the column order in your report.
Example:
If you want Net revenue before Total quantity, simply:
Remove both measurements
Add Net revenue first
Add Total quantity second
They will appear in the selected order.
This allows you to build your report layout exactly as you want it.
