Editing daily entries

Three ways to edit a daily entry: ghost cells, row modal, or the entry drawer. When to use each.

4 min read

Ecom Forward lets you edit a day's data three ways, each suited to a different situation.

1. Inline (ghost cells)

Use for: Fixing a single value quickly. Typo in revenue. COGS was wrong. Adding a missing session count.

  1. Click the cell (revenue, transaction fees, COGS, refunds, orders, sessions).
  2. Type a new value.
  3. Press Enter or click outside to commit. Esc cancels.

Limitations: can't edit ad spend per-platform or operating expenses per-category inline — they have sub-rows.

2. Row edit modal

Use for: Editing multiple fields on an existing day, or anything with sub-rows (per-platform ad spend, per-category OpEx).

  1. In the row, click Edit in the Actions column.
  2. The row expands into an inline form with every field.
  3. Per-platform ad spend appears as separate inputs (Meta, Google, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat).
  4. Per-category OpEx appears as separate inputs per custom category.
  5. Click Save or press Enter. Click Cancel or press Esc to discard.

3. Entry drawer (new entry)

Use for:Adding a day that doesn't exist yet — typically a future-dated entry or a historical one you missed.

  1. Click + New entry in the table controls row.
  2. A drawer slides in from the right with the full form.
  3. Pick the date, store, and fill in values.
  4. Click Save. The drawer closes and the row appears in the table.

Multi-currency behavior

If your store has source currencies set (EUR COGS, USD ad spend, etc.), all three editing paths convert on save. Each editable cost input shows:

  • A currency suffix on the label (e.g. Meta spend (USD)).
  • A blue preview line: ≈ €8.65.
  • A row written to the conversion log on save for audit.

COGS and auto-derivation

COGS has two modes: auto (derived from product sales × catalog COGS) or manual (typed by you).

  • When you save an entry with a blank COGS, the mode stays auto — the nightly sync fills it in.
  • When you type a COGS value, the mode flips to manual — the sync will never overwrite it.
  • The UI shows an auto badge on auto cells; click to override to manual.

Audit

Every edit is stamped to the audit log with your name, timestamp, and the fields you changed. Audit log is accessible via the Audit tab (if you have access).
