Don't Let "Misc Expenses" Become a Blind Spot on the Books

At many companies, a single "other expenses" line on the books easily runs into hundreds of thousands, and nobody can explain what's inside. SBK forces every miscellaneous expense to pick a specific category and link to a business object, so the books are no longer a black box.

  • Customizable category hierarchy matching your accounting standards
  • Mandatory linked object at entry (order / warehouse / department)
  • Receipt image required; an invoice is mandatory above ¥1,000
  • Three time dimensions separated: booking date / actual-payment date / invoice date

Order-Level Cost Aggregation — No More Guesstimating Gross Margin

Beyond product cost, a large order may also bear standalone freight, rush-packaging fees and temporary storage charges. Once these expenses are linked to the order, its true gross margin becomes clear — no more estimation.

  • Expenses allocated by order / line item (by amount / quantity / volume)
  • Aggregated costs shown directly on the order detail page
  • Gross-margin reports calculate after deducting misc expenses, greatly improving accuracy
  • Identify truly negative-margin orders: revenue that can't cover the costs
Use Cases

Common Misc-Expense Scenarios

eCommerce Shipping Freight

Hundreds of orders' freight a day, attached per order via expense vouchers — at month-end, calculate freight ratio and each order's true profit.

Casual Loading/Unloading Labor

Hire 5 casual workers for a bulk inbound, with the cost attached to the specific inbound order and rolled into purchase cost.

Warehouse Utilities

The month-end property bill, aggregated by warehouse and compared against turnover and inbound/outbound volumes to spot inefficient warehouses.

Packaging Upgrade Fees

A customer requests gift packaging — extra materials + labor attached to that order, and the order's gross margin recalculated.
