Costs

Costs represent the underlying cost for items within a transaction:

• Item cost is the cost to produce all units of an item.

• Order cost represents the total cost of goods sold (COGS) for a single transaction, minus returns, cancellations, and discounts.

• Unit cost is the cost to produce a single unit of one item.

You can access cost attributes directly from the Segment Editor. To add these attributes to your segments, click Add criteria, select the Unified Itemized Transactions table (for Item Cost and Unit Cost) or the Unified Transactions table (for Order Cost), apply a condition, and then specify a value.

Available conditions

The following table lists the conditions that are available to these attributes.

Note

These attributes have a Decimal data type. All Decimal data types share the same set of conditions. Recommended conditions for these attributes are identified with “  Recommended” and conditions with more limited use cases are identified with “  Not recommended”.

Condition	Description
is	Not recommended is returns a specific cost amount, such as “47.99”, “59.99”, or “79.99”. Tip Use the following conditions to return a range of cost amounts instead of a specific cost amount: is between, is greater than, is greater than or equal to, is less than, and is less than or equal to.
is between	Recommended is between returns a range of cost amounts that are between the specified cost amounts.
is greater than	Recommended is greater than returns cost amounts that are greater than the specified cost amount.
is greater than or equal to	Recommended is greater than or equal to returns cost amounts that are greater than or equal to the specified cost amount.
is in list	Not recommended Avoid using the is in list condition; individual cost amounts are not typically made available in a list.
is less than	Recommended is less than returns cost amounts that are less than the specified cost amount.
is less than or equal to	Recommended is less than or equal to returns cost amounts that are less than or equal to the specified cost amount.
