expenses viewable in monthly overview
« on: September 06, 2010, 04:47:42 am »
Hi,

it would be great if I can view how much money I will earn in a month with and without expenses. At the moment my costs aren`t considered. For example when I buy a laptop for a client and put the 1000,- with which I bill the client and the 800,- for the cost of the laptop for me in, then it shows 1000,- more in my monthly report - but I only will earn 200,-!

What you would need to do is export the data in the CSV file and then open with a spreadsheet program like Excel.  You would then have to total the Amount and Cost columns and then get the difference there.

Excel would work - but it is so damn sexy to draw the iphone and see what income I have this month! And I think that this functionality is a basic for a program with which I do my invoices...

Is there a chance to get this in the next release - a filter would be fine to substract all my expenses.

You can run a Report on just the expenses, but it will not subtract the "Cost" from it.  It is meant for billing rather than profit.
