Manual reconciliation risks
Payouts, accruals, orders and costs can use different dates. Without a fixed method, totals change between files.
What software should provide
Consistent periods, visible cost categories, SKU drill-down, saved settings and a repeatable review process.
Workflow comparison
| Criterion | Manual approach | SellerStrat |
|---|---|---|
| Cost coverage | Depends on exports and a checklist | Categories are connected in the report |
| Period | Dates can be mixed | Selected once for the report |
| Detail | Requires extra pivots | Move from total to product |
| Repeatability | Depends on the file owner | One review flow |
