    OPS (Ordered Product Sales)

    What is OPS (Ordered Product Sales)?

     Ordered Product Sales (OPS) is a key sales performance metric in Amazon’s reporting tools, representing the gross revenue generated from all customer orders during a specified time period - regardless of whether the items have been shipped, returned, or canceled.

    OPS includes:

    • All units ordered (FBA, FBM, Vendor Central)
    • Full item value, excluding taxes and shipping fees
    • Sales before accounting for returns or refunds

    Where you see OPS:

    • Business Reports in Seller Central
    • Retail Analytics and Brand Analytics dashboards
    • Performance KPIs for ASINs, categories, or time frames

    Difference from Net Sales:

    • OPS = Ordered revenue before returns/cancellations
    • Net Sales (NTS) = Revenue after returns, allowances, and discounts

    Why OPS matters:

    • Reflects gross demand and customer interest
    • Useful for evaluating the impact of promotions, ads, and seasonality
    • Helps forecast inventory needs and reorder planning
    • Supports performance reviews for top ASINs and campaigns
    💡 Example: A seller sees $50,000 in OPS for Q2, even though $4,000 worth of items were returned - indicating strong overall demand.

    In short:
    OPS (Ordered Product Sales) represents the total value of items customers have ordered - a key measure of demand and revenue potential before returns and cancellations are factored in.
