Follow these steps to enter Financial Tracking entries:

Management Item Editor and select the Product or Operational Instance you want to add an
expense/income entry for. If in the management tree select Edit Item or Edit Expense/Income or from the

see a different list of available types than if you picked the Operational Instance level.

will be automatically named based on the item they are assigned to and the current date. You now need to

Tracking report.

NOTE:

All financial tracking results for Basic are dataset based, except for the Financial Tracking report

which will summarize across datasets to provide a bigger picture view of your financial information if you
want. Otherwise all expense, income, or profit/loss results will be displayed on an operation and dataset
basis and not summarize or report financial results across multiple operations for a field. Advanced must
be used to generate an overall Profit/Loss dataset that takes all financial entries into account to provide a
combined view of your financial information for a specific field and year.

Tracking Entries or click on the Financial Entries Tab and select the Add Item button from the toolbar or
click your right mouse button in the tree area and select Add Item.. The Select Expense/Income Type dialog
should now appear.

2.

You now need to select an Expense/Income Type. There are two types of Expense/income to chose from,
Simple or Calculated. Simple types are what are available to Basic users and are directly tied to a Product,
Operational Instance, or Dataset management item. They also are direct amount entries that are always
based on money PER some unit. Calculated types are more involved and actually use multiple value entries
