description: "Read-only: breaks down revenue by fulfillment location for multi-warehouse P&L and location performance."
toolkit: shopify-admin, shopify-admin-execution

status: stable
compatibility: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI

## Purpose
Attributes order revenue to the fulfillment location that shipped the order. Produces a revenue breakdown by warehouse or fulfillment center, useful for multi-location P&L, location staffing decisions, and understanding where demand is being fulfilled from. Read-only — no mutations.

## Prerequisites
- Authenticated Shopify CLI session: `shopify store auth --store <domain> --scopes read_orders`
- API scopes: `read_orders`

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| store | string | yes | — | Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com) |
| days_back | integer | no | 30 | Lookback window |
| format | string | no | human | Output format: `human` or `json` |

## Safety

> ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time.

## Workflow Steps

1. **OPERATION:** `locations` — query
   **Inputs:** `first: 50`, active only
   **Expected output:** Location IDs and names for enrichment

2. **OPERATION:** `orders` — query
   **Inputs:** `query: "fulfillment_status:shipped created_at:>='<NOW - days_back days>'"`, `first: 250`, select `fulfillments { assignedLocation }`, `totalPriceSet`, pagination cursor
   **Expected output:** Fulfilled orders with location attribution

3. **OPERATION:** `fulfillmentOrders` — query (for open orders attribution)
   **Inputs:** Per location, `status: CLOSED`, `first: 250`
   **Expected output:** Closed fulfillment orders for revenue attribution

4. Aggregate revenue by location; orders without location data attributed to "Unknown"

## GraphQL Operations

```graphql
# locations:query — validated against api_version 2025-01
query LocationsList {
  locations(first: 50, includeInactive: false) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}
```

```graphql
# orders:query — validated against api_version 2025-01
query RevenueByLocation($query: String!, $after: String) {
  orders(first: 250, after: $after, query: $query) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        createdAt
        totalPriceSet {
          shopMoney {
            amount
            currencyCode
          }
        }
        fulfillments {
          assignedLocation {
            location {
              id
              name
            }
          }
          status
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      endCursor
    }
  }
}
```

```graphql
# fulfillmentOrders:query — validated against api_version 2025-01
query ClosedFulfillmentOrders($locationId: ID!, $after: String) {
  fulfillmentOrders(
    assignedLocationId: $locationId
    first: 250
    after: $after
    query: "status:closed"
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        order {
          id
          name
          totalPriceSet {
            shopMoney {
              amount
              currencyCode
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      endCursor
    }
  }
}
```

## Session Tracking

**Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.**

**On start**, emit:
```
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  SKILL: Revenue by Location Report           ║
║  Store: <store domain>                       ║
║  Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC>             ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
```

**After each step**, emit:
```
[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION>  <OperationName>
          → Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
          → Result: <count or outcome>
```

**On completion**, emit:

For `format: human` (default):
```
══════════════════════════════════════════════
REVENUE BY LOCATION  (<days_back> days)
  Total revenue:   $<amount>
  Orders included: <n>

  Location                Orders   Revenue    Share
  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
  Warehouse A             <n>      $<n>       <pct>%
  Warehouse B             <n>      $<n>       <pct>%
  Output: revenue_by_location_<date>.csv
══════════════════════════════════════════════
```

For `format: json`, emit:
```json
{
  "skill": "revenue-by-location-report",
  "store": "<domain>",
  "period_days": 30,
  "total_revenue": 0,
  "currency": "USD",
  "by_location": [],
  "output_file": "revenue_by_location_<date>.csv"
}
```

## Output Format
CSV file `revenue_by_location_<YYYY-MM-DD>.csv` with columns:
`location_id`, `location_name`, `order_count`, `total_revenue`, `currency`, `share_pct`

## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `THROTTLED` | API rate limit exceeded | Wait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times |
| Order with no fulfillment location | Unfulfilled or POS order | Attribute to "Unassigned" |
| Single-location store | All revenue from one location | Report still valid, shows full total |

## Best Practices
- For multi-3PL operations, this report helps identify if one 3PL is handling a disproportionate share and may need capacity relief.
- Revenue attribution here is based on fulfillment assignment, not customer shipping address — it reflects operational throughput per location, not geographic demand.
- Pair with the inventory valuation report to calculate inventory turns per location (revenue / inventory value).
