Expense Categories for an Electronics Retailer
Use a short, stable list of expense categories so monthly reports are comparable.
By ElectroX Team
A miscellaneous bucket can hide rent, packaging, courier fees, and repair consumables. Clear categories help owners see which costs changed.
## Start with decisions
Separate rent, utilities, wages, marketing, delivery, payment fees, and shop supplies if each affects a different decision. Keep product purchases out of ordinary operating expenses.
## Set entry rules
Record date, amount, category, payment method, and receipt. Explain how mixed purchases are split and who can correct an entry.
## Review the trend
Compare this month with recent months and investigate large differences. A category is useful only if the team records it consistently.
ElectroX expense and reporting views can organize daily entries into numbers an owner can act on.
