Finance: what came in, what it cost and what you kept
The Finance page adds up every order’s own true cost per month, quarter or year, shows a forecast and lists what needs you, such as orders that lost money.
Finance is for owners and managers. It is built from each order’s own costs (filament, printer time, energy, labour, parts, packaging, shipping and fees), so the numbers match what an order shows in its money box.

Transactions and sales
Transactions lists every order of the period with what was paid, what it cost and the margin. Filter on Made money, Lost money, Not shipped yet or Not costed yet, and search by order or customer. Sales shows the same split by channel, by product (with profit per print hour) and by customer.
