Profit and loss

Revenue against costs by building and by month, including how shared costs are allocated.

Run the report

  1. Open it

    Go to Reports → Financial reports → Profit and loss.

  2. Choose the months

    Whole months only — a part month makes the comparison meaningless.

  3. Check the allocation basis

    Confirm how shared costs are being spread before reading the per-building result.

Allocating shared costs

Costs that belong to no single building — head office, software, a manager covering three sites — are allocated so each building carries its share. Without allocation every building looks profitable and the portfolio still loses money.

Pick one allocation basis and keep it. Switching between rooms, revenue and floor area between months makes comparison meaningless.

Reading it

A building can be full and unprofitable: high occupancy at a low price with high energy costs. Read occupancy and profit together rather than treating a full building as a finished job.
