How to view income vs cost on DairyLogs

Open DairyLogs income vs cost for accrual P&L by month and category—income, operating cost, and net.

Reports → Income vs cost is the accrual P&L: income, operating cost, and net, broken out by month and by category—complementing cash flow and IOFC.

Steps

Open Income vs cost: Go to Reports → Income vs cost (/dashboard/reports/income-expense).
Read net for the period: Compare total income vs operating cost and the resulting net.
Break down by month and category: Use month and category views to find spikes (feed, labour, vet) or soft income months.

Pair with Cost per litre when net is weak but volume is high.
Category spikes often trace to a single large expense entry—open Finance → Expenses to audit.
