Databox is a business analytics software that allows you to track and visualize your most important metrics from any data source in one centralized platform.
To track Total Expenses (Accrual) using Databox, follow these steps:
Databox pulls values for ‘Total Expenses’ metric from the Profit and Loss report and Vendor Expenses report, which are accessible in QuickBooks under Reports.
Users might notice discrepancies if they are comparing values for the ‘Total Expenses’ metric with values in QuickBooks under Dashboard → Business Overview (sum of expenses and costs). This is because the Business Overview Dashboard in QuickBooks aggregates both the Cost of Goods Sold and Expenses into the Total Expenses amount without a detailed breakdown. To see this value in Databox, users should create a Calculated metric that sums the values of ‘Total Expenses’ and ‘Cost of Goods Sold’ metrics.
The Open invoices by Customer metric shows the total amount of unpaid invoices for each customer, providing insight into accounts receivable and cash flow.
Total Expenses (Cash) measures the amount of cash spent by a business during a specific period on all expenses including operating, administrative, and non-operating expenses.

Gross Profit (Cash) is a financial metric that calculates the amount of money a business earns after deducting the cost of goods sold. It represents the profit a company generates from its core business operations before factoring in other expenses.
COGS (Cash) by Product calculates the total cost of goods sold (COGS) for each product sold by a business. This metric helps to analyze profitability and optimize pricing strategies.
