How to Understand Your Weekly SOR or D2C Excel Sale or Return Data Report?

Once you have downloaded your Excel weekly sale or return report you will be able to perform any reviews you deem necessary. We recommend that you apply a filter on this report if you wish to view transactions by a specific location (shop,) or invoice line, or transaction type.

Please note that your Coupa weekly sale or return data may differ from your EDI due to timing differences of transactions being recorded. Transactions which occur on the last day of the weekly reporting period may be missing from your Coupa weekly sale or return report but show on your EDI report. These will appear on the following week’s Coupa report instead. Should these transactions still not appear on your following week’s Coupa report, please visit our SOR FAQs page, which can be found here, for next steps.

This table explains what the headings on the report mean:
