Master List: supplier link + profit link behavior

What you’ll learn

How the Supplier and Net Profit fields behave in the Master List — what happens when you click them, and why these shortcuts exist.


Why these links exist

The Master List is meant to be your command center.

Instead of opening different tabs and searching for the right product, D2C Lab gives you direct shortcuts:

  • click Net Profit to jump to the Calculator for that product

  • click Supplier name to jump to that supplier’s details

This helps you move faster and reduces confusion.


Supplier link behavior

What you’ll see

In the Master List, the Supplier column/field shows the supplier name (once a supplier exists for that product).

What happens when you click it

Clicking the Supplier name takes you directly to:

  • that product’s supplier details (in the Suppliers section)

When it appears

  • If no supplier has been added yet, you may see an empty value (or no clickable link).

  • Once you add at least one supplier, the supplier name becomes visible and clickable.

Tip: Adding a supplier contact also triggers Kanban automatically (card starts in Sourcing).


Net Profit link behavior

What you’ll see

In the Master List, the Net Profit field shows the latest net profit calculated for that idea.

Where Net Profit comes from

Net Profit is calculated in the Calculator based on your inputs (selling price and costs).

What happens when you click it

Clicking Net Profit takes you directly to:

  • that product’s Calculator card

This is the fastest way to adjust numbers when you’re shortlisting ideas.

When it updates

Net Profit updates when:

  • you change calculator inputs, and

  • you save those changes

If you don’t see the new number immediately:

  • refresh once,

  • then re-check the Calculator inputs.


Common workflow (how most people use it)

  1. Use the Master List to scan ideas by stage + net profit

  2. Click Net Profit to refine the numbers

  3. Click Supplier to check quotes/terms or contact details

  4. Return to the Master List and shortlist your top ideas


Troubleshooting

Supplier link isn’t clickable

  • Confirm a supplier has been saved for that product

  • Refresh once

  • Check if you’re filtered to the correct portfolio

Net Profit doesn’t match the Calculator

  • Open the Calculator via the Net Profit link

  • Confirm inputs are saved

  • Refresh once
