Generate a report

Choose a From and To date, or use Today, Last week, Last month or Last year, then press Generate. A period can span up to ten years.

Reports are calculated on the server, so generating a new one needs a connection. Offline, you see the last report you generated for that period, marked with when it was made and how many unsynced changes it leaves out.

The summary

Line	What it is
Revenue	What you sold, after discounts
Ingredient cost	Ingredients for everything baked in the period, including what wasn’t sold
Gross margin	Revenue minus ingredient cost
Fixed costs	Your monthly costs for the days in this period
Labor	Pay for the days in this period
Operating profit	What’s left, before interest and taxes

Click a line in the summary, a bar in the chart or a product to see its breakdown.

The chart

The chart shows quantity, revenue, cost or margin over the period. Use Filters to narrow it to a category or a single product. Bars can be stacked by category, or by product within a category.

Quantity adds up kilos, pieces and litres alike, so it’s most useful when filtered to similar products.

Profit per product

To get a profit for each product, BreadWorks shares fixed costs and labor over everything sold. How it does so is your choice, in Settings → Overview:

Split	How it works
By margin (default)	Products that earn more on ingredients carry more cost, and products sold at a loss carry none
By units sold	Every kg, piece or litre carries the same cost, which favours expensive items over cheap, high-volume ones
By baking time	Costs follow the baker’s minutes, so labor-heavy items carry more. Every product sold needs a baking time

Press Generate again after changing it. No split is the truth: each is a reasonable way of sharing costs that no single product causes. The product profits always add up to the operating profit.
