Entering Your Business Expenses into your Seller Spreadsheet from Paper + Spark

[@LeahaZiegler-g1c]

I"m trying to setup my spread sheet categories for expenses and income and need to add more fields for "custom income" and "custom expenses" but the form won't allow me to add any additional fields. Is there a way to unlock this feature or can you send me a customized sheet? I am working with the "Square seller" spreadsheet. Thanks!

You can either unlock the tab (it's not password protected) if you feel comfortable adding it yourself or email your file & your requests to [e-mail]

where would I enter: monthly products and shipping from printify, monthly products and shipping from awkward styles, utility bills or cell phone etc?

[@carolinealigned4639]

did you ever figure this out?im stuck!

[@karlamurphy9934]

@@carolinealigned4639 I enter all summary invoices from my print providers into materials!

[@heatherwin6349]

Do wholesale (completed items) fit into the Materials and Supplies category?

[@paperandspark]

You can track them there but you really want to treat them as inventory. I recommend entering that in an inventory spreadsheet or wherever you're tracking your inventory. I have an FAQ on that that may also help here: paperandspark.stonly.com/kb/guide/en/inventory-spreadsheet-faqs-troubleshooting-zzNn06VuBb/Steps/196338,196360,196342

If you buy digital designs to use in your business, like images for shirts to sell, would that be product expense or business expense?

[@paperandspark]

It's not an inventory expense, I'd enter it as a regular business expense.

When entering business purchases from Ebay or Aliexpress do I enter the store name or just ebay or aliexpress? Thank you for these videos, they help so much!

[@paperandspark]

Either is fine, usually the more detail the better just for your own purposes

Hi, hope you can help - do packaging supplies (like envelopes, boxes, tissue paper, stickers etc) come under "Product Expenses" or "Business Expenses"? Also, do I include them on the same inventory sheet as my other direct raw materials?

[@paperandspark]

I would consider those types of expenses a non-inventory supply expense.

[@amaliam8588]

Am I entering the expenses that correspond to the products sold for the month or am I entering the full cost associated with purchases for the month? For example, if I sell candles and I bought $50 worth of candle wax for January but I only used and sold $25 worth of candle wax, which cost do I enter?

Would expenses be entered by invoice date or date of payment?

[@paperandspark]

I usually go by the dates on your bank statements.

[@skellybits]

I have occasionally seen some wonky stuff happening with Amazon charges and I have an item in my bank statement that was refunded for some unknown reason. How do I enter expenses that were refunded? I have also been double charged for an item on my statement but my Amazon account only shows record of one transaction, what a mess!

[@paperandspark]

I would check to see if the refunded transaction also shows on your CSV, because if so it should be imported in automatically already. If not, manually enter it in.

Well I hope you see me
