Why is Net PPM missing in my Vendor reports?

Net PPM (Profit Per Mille) is a calculated metric that depends on several underlying data points. If any of these inputs are missing or incomplete, Net PPM may not be displayed in your reports.

This is typically not an error, but a reflection of incomplete or unavailable data required for the calculation.

Why This Happens

Missing Required Inputs

Net PPM requires a combination of:

• revenue data

• cost data

• vendor-specific metrics

If any of these are missing, the calculation cannot be completed.

Product-Level Data Gaps

Some ASINs may not have sufficient data (e.g. missing cost or financial inputs), which prevents Net PPM from being calculated at both product and aggregated levels.

Aggregation Limitations

When filtering or grouping data, Net PPM may not aggregate correctly across mixed datasets where some products have complete data and others do not.

Vendor Data Dependencies

Vendor reporting often relies on purchase order (PO) data. If this is incomplete or unavailable, certain metrics may not appear.

Steps to Investigate

1. Confirm that all required data inputs are available
2. Check whether cost and financial data are present
3. Review product-level data completeness
4. Remove filters to see if the metric appears in a broader view

Notes / Caveats / Tips

• Net PPM is not universally available across all products
• Missing data at the product level can impact aggregated metrics
• Vendor reports are more sensitive to data completeness than standard reports
