Cost category analysis
This report displays the cumulative totals of all company costs assigned to categories for the selected period - e.g. a year - in relation to each other.
Period analysis
The analysis period can be set freely and refers to the service period of a respective purchase invoice or credit invoice.
Example: Partial overlap of service periods
We received a media invoice from YouTube and enter it into the system and note a) the service period "01 July - 31 August 2021" b) the revenue category "Media" and c) the amount "2,000 EUR" If we now evaluate the period of July, only 1,000 EUR will be considered in our report, since the analysis period July corresponds to only 50% of the service period of our YouTube invoice.
Use cases for cost categories
Examples of common cost categories
Media, salaries, office costs, freelancer art, freelancer development, image licenses, travel expenses,
The evaluation of cost categories can, for example, help decide whether it is worth hiring staff for services that were previously provided by freelancers or allocating ongoing costs for rent, office, vehicle fleet to individual employees. It can also be considered, based on cost categories, whether it might make sense to hire a different travel agency or to outsource services that were previously performed in-house.
