How do I work out a trip’s profit and read the sector reports?

The only question that matters at the end of the season: how much did each trip make?

Trip profit

1. Open the trip, then Trip expenses — Figure 1.
2. Compare the total of the invoices linked to the trip with the total of its expenses; the difference is what you made from it.
3. Look at how the expenses split across categories; that shows you where your money actually goes.

The reports

From Travel → Reports — Figure 2 — you see revenue, expenses, collections and outstanding balances, filtered by period and by trip.

Notes

• A trip that looks profitable on paper with incomplete expenses is not profitable; finish entering the costs before you judge.
• The gap between invoiced and collected is what travellers still owe you, and it is the first thing to chase after the return.
• Compare a season with a comparable season rather than month against month; Hajj and Umrah seasons are not equal.
