Inappropriate?Hi Tom,
Right now you can't cusomise the category list for Bills and Expenses, although this is something we're looking to improve in the future.
We'll have a chat and see if we can add a specific Materials category for the next release.

Inappropriate?Hi Tom,
Why don't use Cost of Sales for now? -
Inappropriate?ok thanks olly. Cost of sales? doesn't that apply to a cost required to get a sale... like the cost of generating a written quote>? i suppose it doesn't matter - if the FAC guys add a materials cat. then i can change previous ones. Thanks stuart. -
Inappropriate?No Tom, cost of sales can (typically) mean lots of things! In your case use it for materials until FreeAgent comes up with that category.

Inappropriate?What happened to Tom's suggestion?
I just wanted to agree that a general "materials" expense would be great, I buy photography related items, that are not for specific jobs and not a cost of sale, all the time and don't know which category to put them in.
I’m confused
-
Inappropriate?Having a "materials" heading would open up FreeAgent to a great deal more businesses.
I’m being assertive!
-
Inappropriate?Anna / Stuart,
Would you not think that having "Materials" under Admin Expenses as well as "Materials" in Cost of Sales (which is of course already there) could cause confusion?
Just interested to hear your opinions.
Kind regards,
Emily
I’m curious

Inappropriate?Rather embarrassingly I had forgotten Materials is a separate heading in Cost of Sales. Sorry to confuse everyone. I use too many charts of accounts!
I’m embarrased
-
Inappropriate?regardless of the specific category, the inability to add new categories that are appropriate to a specific business type is a drawback.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the replies everyone,
Personally I don't think it's confusing to have a materials category in both expenses and cost of sale. I don't use cost of sale much, my kind of photography is a service really. I agree with Gareth that being able to create new categories to suit the business would be best, but for now I would be really happy with a materials in expenses!! I am still on trial, with 17 days left and would love to stay! But what do I do with the expenses that relate to my trade and don't fit under any of the categories?
I am sure I am not the only one.
I’m worried....

Inappropriate?i agree with gareth...
