Cost Coverage Indicators
Cost Coverage Indicators provide a quick overview of how complete your cost data is across your catalog.
They summarize how many products have cost assigned and how many are still missing cost.
The Big Picture
Before analyzing profitability, you need to know if your cost data is complete.Cost Coverage Indicators give you that visibility instantly.
Total Products
The Total Products indicator shows the full number of products in your catalog.
This includes:
- products with cost
- products without cost
It represents the full dataset being evaluated for cost coverage.
With Cost
The With Cost indicator shows how many products currently have an assigned cost value.
This means:
- these products are ready for profitability analysis
- margin calculations can be performed accurately
- no immediate cost action is required
Missing Cost
The Missing Cost indicator shows how many products do not have a defined cost.
This means:
- profitability cannot be fully calculated for these products
- cost data needs to be added
- analysis may be incomplete if these are not addressed
The Logic
These indicators are calculated based on product-level cost availability:
- Total Products = all products in the catalog
- With Cost = products with a valid cost value
- Missing Cost = products without a cost value
This creates a simple snapshot of cost coverage.
Why This Matters
Without coverage indicators:
- users would not know if their dataset is complete
- profitability analysis could be misleading
- missing cost data might go unnoticed
With these indicators:
- cost completeness is immediately visible
- gaps can be identified quickly
- users can take action before analysis
