- The resulting report will calculate your Promo Credit due based on the following:  
  **Vendor Coverage x Discount % x COGS**
- Export this to CSV or Excel via more options in the upper right to send to your vendor![Screenshot 2025-03-05 at 3.39.05 PM](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-03-05%20at%203.39.05%20PM.png?width=688&height=336&name=Screenshot%202025-03-05%20at%203.39.05%20PM.png)

There is a line for each unique product/batch combination for a promo.

- If 5 qty of a single batch it will show 5 on one line.
- If 3 of one batch and 2 of another, then it will show the two lines for qty 3 and 2.   
  That is so it can account for the unique COGS of each batch.
- Gross Sales is Units x Product Price
- Discounts are the dollar amount discounted off the Gross Sales based on the specific promo
- Customer Discount is the % of Discounts divided by Gross Sales.
- Unit Cost is the batch cost per unit
- Net Sales is Gross Sales - Discounts
- COGS is Unit Cost x Units Sold
- Vendor Coverage % is the percentage of the promo the vendor will cover
- Vendor Absorbs is Vendor Coverage % x Customer Discount
- Promo credit is the final calculation

Typically, a vendor will say they will cover a percentage of the promotion, say 50% of the promo.  
This means that they will credit the customer back for 50% of the customer discount against the retailer's COGS.

**A couple of examples:**

1\. Stiiizy says they will support 100% coverage of a BOGO sale on Stiiizy.  
The retailer buys the units for $6 wholesale, they retail them for $20.  
On sale, the BOGO means they are effectively selling two units for $20 ($10 each).   
This is an effective 50% discount.  
The retailer will be credited 100% of 50% of their COGS.  
So for two units at $6 each wholesale, that is a total COGS of $12.  
Stiiizy will provide a credit 100% x 50% x $12 = $6

2\. Kiva says they will support 50% coverage of a 20% off sale on their products.  
The retailer buys KIVA units for the units for $10 wholesale, they retail them for $16.  
They sell 8 units with a 20% discount, with total net sales of   
$102.40 (8 units x $12.80 \[20% off $16\])  
The retailer will be credited 50% of 20% of their COGS.  
So for 8 units at $10 each wholesale, that is a total COGS of $80.  
Kiva will provider a credit 50% \* 20% x $80 = $8  
Vendor Coverage x Discount % x COGS.
