What do the columns in the "Suppliers" report correspond to?
In this FAQ we explain the meaning of each of the columns you'll find in the SUPPLIERS report. To find out more about how to use the "Suppliers" report, go to this FAQ (the video is a bit old, so the column labels have changed a bit, but the principle remains the same!).
Name of the shop where the order was placed.
Identifier of the supplier.
Name of the supplier.
Quantity of this supplier's products sold during the selected period.
Discount total excl. VAT (negative value)
Total amount of discounts applied using voucher code(s) (cart rules), on this supplier's products.
Please note: this column only calculates discounts resulting from voucher codes (cart rules). Discounts due to specific prices are not taken into account here.
Total amount of the supplier's products sold over the selected period, excluding VAT.
If a specific price was applied when the order was placed, it is taken into account. In this sum we also take the eco-tax into account, if one of the supplier's products is concerned, excluding VAT.
Sum of the amounts corresponding to the eco-tax, for the supplier products concerned, excluding VAT. As a reminder, this total is already included in the Product total excl. VAT. This column is useful for your eco-tax declaration forms.
Total cost of the supplier's products, over the period concerned.
Notes:
- The module allows you to decide whether you want to consider the cost price of the product as it was at the time the order was placed, or whether you want to take the current value of the product's cost price. By default, the cost price is recorded at the time the order is placed, and this is used for the various calculations. If you prefer to use the current cost price, go to the module configuration and uncheck the corresponding option.
- Moreover, when the module retrieves the cost price value, it first looks at the level of the (default) supplier associated with the product (or product combination). If the cost price has been entered at this level, this value will be taken into account; otherwise, the module will look for the cost price value entered in the product's "Pricing" tab.

We add up the % of total sales for each supplier as we go down the column.
Example:
We export a "supplier" report and we position ourselves on the "Best Food" supplier. If we add up the percentage of total sales for the first 3 suppliers, we find a cumulative percentage of total sales of 76,41%, which means that the first 3 suppliers alone account for more than three-quarters of total sales for the selected period (76.41%):
This column shows the proportion of gross profits generated by the supplier in relation to total gross profits generated over the selected period:
Cumulative % of total gross profits
We add up the % of total gross profits for each supplier as we go down the column.

This column shows the proportion of net profits generated by the supplier in relation to total net profits generated over the selected period:
