๐ฐ Financial
The Financial module turns the workshop's orders and expenses into real economic metrics: revenue, expenses and profit.
The module's three tabs
| Tab | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Financial Summary | KPI panel with a historical chart and a detail table. |
| Expenses | Record of the workshop's expenses with attachments and suppliers. |
| Suppliers | Directory of suppliers linked to expenses. |
Financial Summary
Pending payment
A highlighted card at the top shows the total pending payment: the sum of orders created this month whose payment is pending, partial or failed, whatever production status they're in. Canceled orders don't count. Clicking it expands a list of those orders at the bottom of the page.
Monthly history
A combined bar-and-line chart shows the month-by-month evolution of:
- Revenue (green bars) โ paid orders, in the month they were collected.
- Expenses (orange bars) โ expenses recorded each month.
- Profit (blue line) โ revenue minus expenses.
Balance cards
Three groups of cards show the balance over different periods. Each group has three figures: Consolidated income, Registered expenses and Profit.
- Monthly balance: the current month.
- Annual balance: the current year.
- Total balance: since the workshop started.
Clicking any of these cards opens a list below with the orders and/or expenses that make up that figure.
What "consolidated income" means
It's the money you've already collected: the sum of orders marked as paid, counted in the month they were collected (their payment date), not the month they were created or delivered. A January order that gets paid in June counts in June. Canceled orders don't count. It's the same figure you see on the Dashboard as Month consolidated.
Expenses tab
A record of all the workshop's expenses (buying filaments, electricity bill, tools, etc.). You not only see what you spend at a glance, but you can also store your delivery notes and/or invoices to keep everything tidy.
Create an expense
Click "New expense" to add one. You can enter the data by hand or you can attach the scanned invoice. To do that, click "Upload with AI" (blue button at the top right) and upload the file. You don't have to sit and wait: the upload is confirmed right away and the analysis carries on in the background. The screen keeps telling you the document is being processed and, when the AI finishes reading it, the expense record fills itself in with the amount, the date and the supplier it recognized. In the meantime you can get on with your own work.
Depends on your plan
Upload with AI is included from the Pro plan. On plans that don't include it you'll see the button locked, with a notice of the plan from which it's available; you can keep recording expenses by hand.
If something goes wrong โ the file can't be read, the AI service isn't responding at that moment โ you'll see the reason explained in your own language right on the screen, and you always have the option of filling in the expense by hand. Always review the extracted data before saving: the AI gets it right almost every time, but the final word is yours.
Suppliers tab
This is the "address book" where you store your expense suppliers. You can easily look up their address, phone, emailsโฆ Add a new supplier by clicking "New supplier", enter its details and save. Now you can look it up quickly whenever you need it.
WARNING! These suppliers are different from the material manufacturers in the inventory.
