What is the Financial Report?
The Financial Report provides a complete overview of your business financial performance. It consolidates data from sales, purchases, expenses, and profits into an easy-to-read dashboard with visual charts and detailed transaction tables.
Why Use Financial Reports?
Financial reports help you:
- Monitor business health – Track revenue, costs, and profitability
- Identify trends – See patterns in sales and expenses over time
- Make informed decisions – Use data to guide business strategies
- Simplify accounting – Export data for tax reporting and bookkeeping
- Track unpaid sales – Monitor outstanding customer payments
Financial Report Dashboard
The dashboard consists of several key components:
1. Financial Chart
A visual bar chart displaying:
- Sales – Total sales value (including unpaid)
- Paid Sales – Sales that have been paid
- Purchases – Total purchase costs (Stock In)
- Expenses – Business expenses recorded
- Profit – Net profit calculation
Tip: Hover over chart bars to see exact values for each period.
2. Summary Cards
Key metrics displayed as summary cards:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Sales | Sum of all sales (paid + unpaid) in the selected period |
| Paid Sales | Sales that have been fully paid by customers |
| Total Purchases | Cost of all stock purchases (buying price × quantity) |
| Total Expenses | Sum of all recorded business expenses |
| Total Profit | Paid Sales − Purchases − Expenses |
| Assets Value | Current value of all inventory (buying price × current stock) |

| Week | Weekly trends | 7-day grouped summaries |

Select one or multiple staff from the dropdown. Clear filters to see all transactions.
Understanding Key Metrics
Sales vs. Paid Sales
- Sales = Total value of all Stock Out transactions
- Paid Sales = Portion of sales that customers have actually paid
- Unpaid Sales = Sales − Paid Sales (appears in Receivables Report)
Example:
- You sell $1,000 of products
- Customer pays $600 immediately
- Customer owes $400 (unpaid)
- Sales = $1,000 | Paid Sales = $600
Profit Calculation
Profit = Paid Sales − Purchases − Expenses
Example:
- Paid Sales: $5,000
- Purchases: $2,000
- Expenses: $500
- Profit: $2,500
Assets Value
This represents the current value of your inventory:
Assets Value = Current Stock × Buying Price
This helps you understand the total capital tied up in inventory.
Lifetime Unpaid Sales
The total amount customers owe you from all time, not just the selected period. This is your total accounts receivable.
