Total sales use a 1-day attribution window whereas Attributed Sales use a 30-day window, so in some cases, Total Attributed Sales will be higher than Total Sales.

The Organic Sales metric is a simple estimate calculated by subtracting advertising sales from total revenue. Though insightful, this estimate can be misleading due to the differing attribution windows used by advertising sales and total revenue reports.

Since Organic Sales = Total Sales - Attributed Sales, organic sales can be zero (or negative) if Attributed Sales is greater than Total Sales as a result of capturing extra sales.

Building out a complex model to better account for these differing attribution windows is on the Perpetua roadmap and will make organic sales estimates more reliable in the future.

Organic Sales at the top is calculated including SB & SBv sales data whereas the data in the table is calculated without it so the value at the top can be lower. This is because spend cannot be attributed to specific ASINs. Furthermore, the total sales tab in the dashboard only shows products that are eligible for advertising, or manually added products for advertisement. As a result, we don’t pull data for all ASINs automatically and though they will be accounted for in total tiles the products will not show up in the table (below the graph).
