Capital Recovery

Capital Recovery answers one question. How much of the money you put into stock has come back? Each purchase you record becomes a batch. A batch is one lot of one product. SourceDock pulls your sales, fees, refunds, and reimbursements from Amazon. It matches them to each batch. Then it shows what you put in, what came back, and what is still on the shelf.

You need a connected Amazon seller account. If your plan does not include Capital Recovery, the page shows an upgrade notice.

The header

The big number is recovered. That is the cash Amazon has booked for you after fees, plus reimbursements. It is not profit. The line under it says what percent of your capital is back, and how much you put to work. It also shows Net P&L and how much of that is still unsold stock.

Figure	What it means
Net P&L	Recovered minus what you put to work. It is often deeply negative while stock is unsold. That is normal, not a real loss.
At risk	The cost of units Amazon lost or damaged and has not paid you for yet.

Under the figures is a thin bar with three bands. Hover any label to read what it means.

Band	What it means
Cash recovered	Money already back, including payouts still in Amazon’s 7 to 14 day reserve.
Selling	Money in products that have started selling but have not paid back in full.
On shelf	Money in batches with zero sales so far.

Sync stamp, refresh, and rebuild

The top right shows “figures from” a date and time. While a sync runs it says “updating”. It may also show when the next scheduled sync is due. If the last sync failed, or is more than 7 days old, a retry sync link appears.

Control	What it does
Refresh icon	Starts a new sync that pulls fresh data from Amazon. You can run it again after 60 seconds. A toast says “Sync started”. If the data is fresh, it says “Data is already current”.
History icon (Rebuild all data)	Wipes every Recovery figure and rebuilds it from the last 365 days. Rows show zero until it finishes. A dialog asks you to confirm. Use it only when a normal sync does not fix wrong numbers.
Run First Sync	Sits on a banner before your first sync: “Recovery has not checked Amazon yet.” If no seller is connected, the banner offers Connect Amazon instead.

While a sync runs, a progress line shows the phase and step count. A sync pulls fee analytics, settlement reports, sales and fees, inventory changes, customer returns, and reimbursements. Then it checks each batch and adds up the totals again. It can take several minutes.

The table

Each row is one product across all its batches. Click a header to sort. Hover a header to read its meaning.

Column	What it shows
Batch	The product, with a link to its purchase orders.
Road to break-even	A bar. The filled part is units sold toward break-even. The tick is the unit where your money is back. Under it, units sold out of units bought.
Ord	Units you bought, across every batch of this product.
Sent On Amazon	What Amazon recorded as shipped inbound. A dash means SourceDock did not find those shipments.
On hand	Units bought minus Sent On Amazon, shown only when the inbound count is known.
Invested	What you paid for this product, all batches.
Recovered	Amazon payout after fees for this product.
P&L	Net P&L for this product. Break-even is when this is $0 or better.

Simple is the default density. Advanced adds two Amazon columns. Marked Sent is units on orders you marked Sent to FBA, minus write-offs. Amazon Received is what Amazon counted at the dock. You can also turn on Amazon holds: every unit that has gone through Amazon. That counts live stock plus units already sold, lost, or damaged.

Filters

The search box finds titles, ASINs, and orders. Open the filter panel for more.

Filter	Options
Batches	All or Still recovering. Still recovering shows products with at least one open lot.
Purchased	Date pills for All time, Last 30d, Last 90d, This month, and Last month, plus from and to dates.
Table	Simple or Advanced.

When you click through from the At risk figure, an Unreimbursed only chip appears. Click its X to clear it.

Expand a row

Click a row to open it.

Expanded recovery row with the at-Amazon line, refunds, and the Full ledger link — An expanded product row

The left side starts with a sentence about break-even. Under it is the at-Amazon line. It says where the units are now: sold through, available, reserved for orders, preparing, receiving, unfulfillable, or in transit. Hover “reserved for orders” to see the split between customer orders, warehouse transfers, and processing. If Amazon has no record yet, it says “nothing at Amazon yet”. Refunds are listed with a total, if there are any. If Amazon’s inbound counts do not match, an Inbound discrepancy badge appears with plain notes. See the reconcile reference. The right side lists the latest Amazon events. If units were damaged or lost, it says so. A Potential claim? chip appears when you may be able to ask Amazon for money. Click Full ledger → to open the ledger drawer.

The ledger drawer

The drawer has two tabs: LEDGER and EVENTS. A date range menu sits beside them: ALL TIME, LAST 30D, or LAST 90D.

The LEDGER tab

The ledger shows the money in four groups.

Group	What is in it
Sales	Units sold and refunds.
Amazon fees	Referral fee, FBA fulfillment, inbound transportation, placement, storage, removal, and any reimbursements that offset them.
Cost of goods	Units sold, and units still on the shelf.
Net P&L	The net figure, and the estimated payout so far.

Under the payout is a short list that adds up to Recovered. Sales after Amazon sale fees, plus reimbursements, minus inbound, placement, and other service fees. The footer shows three rates. recovery is recovered divided by invested. margin is Net P&L divided by sales. ROI is Net P&L divided by invested. When you pick a date range, sales and fees are for that window only. Net P&L stays all-time. The payout line reads “Est. payout this window”.

All lines and the Financial Breakdown

Click All lines at the bottom of the ledger. The full Financial Breakdown opens. This is the waterfall. It starts with sales and takes away each cost until it reaches net profit. Lines that are zero are hidden.

Estimated Payout	What Amazon actually deposits. Sales after fees, plus reimbursements and sellable returns, minus service fees.

Under the lines are four rates: Recovery, Margin, ROI, and Refunds. If a batch has no buy cost, the header says “Cost unknown”. Net Profit then has no cost of goods in it. Record the buy cost to get a real margin.

The data completeness badge

A small badge sits next to the Financial Breakdown title. It tells you how solid the figures are.

Badge	What it means
Complete	Every sold unit has its own Amazon event. The figures are the real charges Amazon posted.
Partial	Some units have no event yet. It shows how many do, like “3 of 7 units”. Sales and fees for the rest use Amazon’s monthly totals.
Estimated	No events yet. Sales and fees come from Amazon’s monthly totals. They firm up on later syncs.
Incomplete sync	The last sync did not get all the data. Treat the figures as a floor and run the sync again.

Why can events be missing? Amazon files events by the date money moved, not the order date. Old sales may have posted before your first sync reached back that far. A date-filtered view always shows Complete. It is built only from events.

The completeness badge

The EVENTS tab

This tab lists every Amazon event for the product. Pills filter by type: All, Sales, Fees, Refunds, Returns, Losses, Damages, and Reimb. for reimbursements. Sale amounts are what you got after fees, not the sale price. The bottom shows money Out, money In, and the Net.
