Expenses Dashboard
The Expenses Dashboard in KarmaAxis provides a comprehensive overview of all tracked expenses, presented in various categories for easy analysis and reporting. Each section of the dashboard is designed to help users understand where and how money is being spent, and it can be filtered by date using the date filter icon at the top right.
Here’s a breakdown of the different sections of the Expenses Dashboard and how to interpret the data:
1. Total Expenses:
- This section at the top provides the total amount of expenses incurred within the selected date range.
- The total combines all expenses from different categories, including vaults, types, karmas, and more.
2. Expenses by Vaults:
- Definition: A "Vault" represents the mode of payment or the funding source for the expenses.
- Interpretation: This section shows the breakdown of expenses by the vault used, such as Bank, Cash, Personal, or other payment methods as specified in the admin portal.
- Example: In the image above, most expenses were made via the Bank vault (₹2,000), followed by Cash (₹1,240), and so on.
3. Expenses by Type:
- Definition: Expense types categorize expenses based on the nature of the spending (e.g., Cleaning & Maintenance, Conveyance, etc.).
- Interpretation: This section provides a breakdown of expenses by their types, giving insights into where money is being spent the most.
- Example: In the image, the majority of the expenses (₹3,725) were for Cleaning & Maintenance, and a smaller amount (₹200) was for Conveyance.
4. Expenses by Karma:
- Definition: A "Karma" refers to a specific project or goal under which the expense is categorized.
- Interpretation: This section lists the expenses incurred for each Karma. It helps track how much has been spent on different projects or initiatives.
- Example: In the image, expenses under Accounts Karma amounted to ₹2,165, while ₹1,760 is under Undefined (meaning they haven’t been tagged to any specific Karma).
5. Expenses by Users:
- Definition: This section tracks expenses based on the user or team member responsible for the expense.
- Interpretation: It shows how much money each user has spent within the specified date range, offering insights into individual expenditures.
- Example: In this case, Baljinder Singh is the only user who has recorded expenses, totaling ₹3,925.
6. Expenses by Contacts:
- Definition: "Contacts" refer to external entities (e.g., clients or partners) related to the expenses.
- Interpretation: This section shows the expenses related to different contacts, helping track client or partner-related spending.
- Example: Here, the expenses are listed under Undefined, which means the expenses haven’t been tagged to any specific contact.
7. Expenses by Vendors:
- Definition: A "Vendor" is a supplier or service provider from whom the expense was incurred.
- Interpretation: This section tracks the expenses made to specific vendors, helping you monitor how much money is spent with different suppliers.
- Example: In the image, the expenses are shown as Undefined, meaning they have not been tagged to any vendor.
Note on "Undefined":
- Undefined means that the expense has not been tagged to a specific category, such as Karma, Vendor, or Contact.
- To organize these expenses properly, users need to go back and update the expense details to assign the correct Karma, vendor, or contact where applicable.
Additional Features:
- Date Range Filter: At the top right, there is a date filter icon, allowing you to adjust the time period for which the expenses are displayed. This is useful for generating expense reports for specific date ranges.
- Visual Representation: The dashboard uses bar graphs for easy visual comparison, helping users quickly understand where the most money is being spent.
This dashboard provides a quick, easy-to-understand overview of your expenses, allowing you to filter, categorize, and analyze spending across different areas of your business or projects. By understanding how to use these sections effectively, you can better manage your finances and allocate resources more efficiently.
