  • Data discrepancy for QuickBooks metric ‘Total Expenses’

    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.
