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:

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.
