Every cost your business has, on one card, grouped by when it reaches your profit — because that is the part that is easy to get wrong.
What you spent running the business is your operating expenses, broken out by category so you can see at a glance what testing, postage or packaging has actually cost you this period. It comes straight off this period's profit.
What your sales cost you is the cost of the stock that sold, plus write-offs, minus anything a vendor gave back. A refund and a credit are listed separately on purpose: both cut the loss, and only a refund is money.
What you put into stock is what you paid for product, its shipping, its certificates, and any expense you filed onto a purchase. ⚠️ None of it reduces your profit yet. It is stock you own — its cost appears above, as the cost of what you sold, on the day it sells.
Netted against what you charged is postage and surcharges: what you collected, what it cost you, and the margin between them.
There is deliberately no grand total. These are different kinds of money, and adding them together would charge you twice for one payment — your profit would fall by money you never spent.
Testing altogether is the one exception: lab work appears in two of the groups by design, so the combined figure is stated, because the question is usually "what have I spent on testing".
Every figure opens the records behind it. So do the tiles at the top of the dashboard and every line of Cash Position — tap the number, see what makes it up.
