Fix the period and store first
Reconcile one 1688 account, one period and source currencies: CNY and management cost currency. A bank settlement is not the same as period profit.
The market context is China and international sourcing routes used by sellers. Validate local reports before consolidation.

Move from totals to products
The 1688 operating focus is wholesale sourcing, MOQ, supplier prices, batches, samples and landed cost. Expand store totals to SKU, variant, category and fulfillment model.
Review negative-profit products, sharp expense changes and sales without product cost.
Turn the report into a decision
Fix data quality first, isolate one-off adjustments and only then change price, advertising or replenishment.
SellerStrat keeps a traceable path from total profit to expense line and product.
Frequently asked questions
