Monthly marketplace finance check

Operational dashboards move daily; finance needs a monthly rhythm that reconciles marketplace fees, invoices, missing costs, and payout timing. This check complements weekly Pulse reviews—it is about period close discipline, not bid tweaks.

Revenue alignment. Export or compare Marktspan order totals to marketplace settlement reports for the closed month. Small deltas are normal for cancellation timing; large deltas trigger connection or scope investigations.

Fee and invoice completeness. Walk fee categories in P&L against retailer invoices. Note provisional lines that should clear after the next finance sync. Kaufland and Bol have different invoice cadences—document your expectations in an internal one-pager.

COGS coverage. Finance updates COGS for SKUs with supplier price changes; ops flags delisted or remapped SKUs. If coverage regresses, return to Costs and trustworthy margin.

Promotions and vouchers. Reconcile promotional discounts and Kaufland vouchers against campaigns you approved in Manage modules.

Payout planning. Connect contribution trends to cash planning—not identical to bank deposits, but directionally useful for leadership.

When to call this use case done

Treat the playbook as complete when your team repeats the outputs in a weekly forum without exporting ad-hoc spreadsheets—usually within two weeks of a healthy first sync. If numbers look empty or stale, pause process changes and fix connection health first; process cannot compensate for missing data.

Honest marketplace scope

Live seller operations emphasize Bol.com, Kaufland, and Pigu (PHH Group) today. Mirakl remains connect-first until your rollout confirms ingest for your operator. Ad Pilot applies to Bol Sponsored Products only; Pigu advertising uses Martailer separately from Ad Pilot. Retailers shown as coming soon on marketing surfaces are not described here as shipped product.
