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 Overdue Invoices Amount metric represents the total amount of unpaid invoices that are past their due date.
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.
The Cost of Goods Sold (Cash) by Subcategory metric measures the total amount of cash spent on producing goods categorized by subcategories, helping track expenses and determine profitability for specific product lines.
Other Expenses (Accrual) is a financial metric that represents the sum of all non-operating expenses incurred by a business but not directly related to its core operations, such as interest expense, taxes, or litigation costs.
Other Income (Accrual) is a financial metric that tracks non-operating revenue recognized on an accrual basis, such as interest income, rental income, or gains from the sale of assets. It represents additional sources of income that are not derived from a company's main business operations.
The Balance metric refers to the difference between the total assets and total liabilities of a company at a given point in time. It indicates the financial position of the company and its ability to meet its financial obligations.
Gross Profit Growth (Cash) measures the change in cash-based gross profit from one period to the next. It is found by subtracting the cost of goods sold (COGS) from total revenue and then comparing this figure between two periods.
Inventory metric refers to the amount of stock or products a business has on hand at any given time. It helps to track inventory levels and measure inventory turnover to optimize cash flow and profitability.
