Manual Adjustments

What is this page?

The Manual Adjustments page lets you add income or expense entries that are not automatically captured from TikTok. This is essential for tracking business costs that happen outside of TikTok's platform -- things like packaging materials, warehouse rent, employee salaries, or additional revenue streams. These adjustments flow into your Profit & Loss statement and affect your Operating Profit across all pages.

Key Metrics on This Page

Manual Income

• What it shows: Additional income you have recorded that is not from TikTok Shop sales.
• Important: Manual income increases your Operating Profit. Use this for things like insurance payouts, returns of deposits, or income from other sales channels you want to track alongside TikTok.
• Inventory restock receipts: A confirmed sellable return creates an audited, system-managed adjustment entry. In Profit & Loss, that category reduces COGS on the warehouse receipt date rather than appearing in Manual Income. A reversal increases COGS on its reversal date. You cannot create a restock credit by entering an ordinary manual income adjustment.

Manual Expenses

• What it shows: Costs you have recorded that TikTok does not track automatically.
• Important: Manual expenses decrease your Operating Profit. Common examples include packaging costs, warehouse rent, software subscriptions, employee wages, or shipping supplies.

Monthly Totals

• What it shows: Income, signed expenses, and the net adjustment total for each month, using your current search and filters.
• All rows count: These totals include matching entries on every page of the month. Moving between entry pages does not change the total. The page loads 30 entries per month; use Previous and Next below each table to browse them.
• Missing calculations: A total shows Not available when a formula or per-order amount cannot be calculated. It is not replaced with zero. VAT Settings entries are informational and excluded from these adjustment totals because their financial calculation is handled by VAT Settings.

Features

Past and Future Adjustments

Toggle between two views at the top of the page:

• Past Adjustments -- shows adjustments with dates that have already occurred. These are reflected in your current P&L and profit calculations.
• Future Adjustments -- shows scheduled adjustments with future dates. These will automatically be applied when their date arrives. Useful for planning recurring costs like rent or subscriptions.
