You can use the Other Transactions section to enter additional expenses or income associated with your company or individual products.
There are two main sections; Manual Entries & FBA Inbound Shipping
Manual Entries
You can manually enter costs/revenue related to things like product photography, samples, design, and any other transactions relevant to your business as a whole or to an individual ASIN. You have the option to select a category from the drop-down menu or create custom categories of your own.

FBA Inbound Shipping
If you use Amazon’s freight forwarding services, you’ll find any associated fees for sending your goods to Fulfilment Centers in this section. This information is populated automatically. Note that the FBA Inbound Shipping expense section will remain blank if you do not use these services.
