With the **fee allocation** (*Gebühren-Zuweisung*) you tell X-Sitter which platform fees and shipping costs belong to which JTL orders – for example the commission a marketplace charges and what a parcel really costs you. X-Sitter recognises the orders by their platform name or by their order number and uses these values in the [JTL monthly report](/jtl/monthly-report.md) to calculate the net profit per order item.

## Before you start

- Your company needs a JTL connection, see [Connect JTL-Wawi](/jtl/jtl-connection.md).
- Your user needs the permission **Company settings › Additional costs settings** – ask your administrator.

## Step by step

1. Open **Company Settings › Additional costs settings** (*Firmen Einstellungen › Nebenkosten Einstellungen*). The page is titled **Fee allocation** (*Gebühren-Zuweisung*).
2. Click **New entry** (*Neuer Eintrag*).
3. Fill in the fields (see below). Leave **Source** (*Quelle*) on **JTL**.
4. Click **Save** (*Speichern*). X-Sitter confirms with "The entry was saved" (*Der Eintrag wurde gespeichert*).
5. To change an entry, open it from the overview, adjust the fields and save again.

## Fields and options

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Display name** (*Anzeigename*) | Name of the entry, e.g. "Marketplace X commission". If the entry matches by order number, this name is shown as the platform in the monthly report. |
| **Source** (*Quelle*) | Always **JTL**. |
| **Regular expression** (*Regulärer Ausdruck*) | Pattern that identifies the orders, e.g. `Kaufland` or `^302-`. Upper and lower case must match exactly. |
| **Which field to check?** (*Auf welches Feld prüfen?*) | **Platform name** (*Plattform Name*) = the platform of the order in JTL. **External order number** (*Bestellnummer*) = the external order number. |
| **Fallback** | Fee in percent of the gross item price. It is used when no fee is stored at the article (see *Article attribute*). |
| **Internal shipping costs** (*Interne Versandkosten*, net) | What the parcel costs you. It is split evenly across the items of the order and reduces the profit. |
| **Customer shipping costs** (*Versandkosten Kunde*, gross) | What the customer pays for shipping. It is converted to net, split across the items and increases the profit. |
| **Article attribute (custom fields)** (*Artikel Attribut (Eigene Felder)*) | Optional: a JTL custom field at the article that holds an article-specific fee in percent (e.g. different commission per category). Start typing the name and pick it from the list. Leave it empty if you do not need it. |

## How the monthly report uses the entries

For every order item of the report period, X-Sitter checks the entries one after the other:

1. If the regular expression matches the platform name or order number, the entry applies.
2. The fee in percent comes from the article attribute in JTL; if the article has no value there, the **Fallback** is used.
3. Net profit = net sales price − fee − share of internal shipping costs + share of customer shipping costs (net) − net purchase price.

!!!
The fields **Component** (*Komponente*), **Value** (*Wert*), **+ or −** and **% or €** are not used by the monthly report. You can leave their default values.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fees or shipping stay at 0 in the monthly report | No entry matches the order | Check the regular expression and the field to check; upper and lower case must match the platform name in JTL exactly |
| "There are no entries yet" (*Es sind noch keine Einträge vorhanden*) | No entry created | Click **New entry** |
| Changes do not show up in the report | Entries are read once per login session | Log out and log in again |
