How to Edit Your COGS History in ProfitTree
If you entered an incorrect COGS value or your product costs changed over time, you can update your COGS history. Editing COGS history ensures your reports remain accurate for all past and future sales.
Here’s how to update your historical COGS:
Step 1: Open the COGS Management Section
In your ProfitTree dashboard, go to COGS Management and find the product you want to update.
Click the “>” arrow next to that product to open its details.
Step 2: Update the Current Cost Period (If Needed)
Before editing history, make sure the Current Cost Period reflects the correct cost moving forward.
Update it if necessary.
Step 3: Select COGS Period History
Click the “COGS Period History” tab next to “Current Cost Period.”
This is where you can adjust past cost ranges.
Step 4: Edit Historical COGS Values
Click “Update Costs” to enter or update COGS values for specific date ranges.
You can:
define different cost values for different time periods
correct mistakes in previously entered COGS
maintain accurate profit reporting across all past sales
This ensures ProfitTree reflects the correct COGS for every order based on when the cost was actually valid.
