Holded's boards are customizable dashboards that display key data relevant to your business, such as revenue, expenses, outstanding receivables, and sales by sales channel.

Unlike analytics reports, dashboards allow you to combine information from different areas in a summarized format:

Each of the dashboards is composed of elements (widgets), customizable according to your needs.

Configure them according to your business needs and priorities, selecting the most relevant widgets and organizing them to fit your workflow.

This gives you an instant overview of your most relevant financial and performance metrics, making it easier to make informed, strategic decisions.


1. How to get to the boards

To get to the boards, simply go Home, in the sidebar, and click on the Boards tab.


2. Calculation of the main concepts of the boards

Holded performs automatic calculations to provide you with accurate information in real time. You will see that some widgets are the sum of several concepts within the system. Here's how they are calculated:

1. Widget "Sales" (groups 70, 752)

  • + Sales amount (excluding tax).

  • - Amended sales amount.

  • + Journal entries against sales accounts (Sales channels).

2. Widget "Revenue" (group 7)

  • + Sales amount (without tax).

  • - Amending sales amount.

  • + Journal entries against revenue accounts (Sales Channels).

3. Widget "Purchases" (groups 60 and 61)

  • + Purchasing amount (without tax).

  • - Amending purchase amount (negative).

  • + Journal entries against expense accounts.

4. Widget "Expenses" (group 6)

  • + Purchase amount.

  • - Amending purchases amount (negative).

  • + Payroll amount.

  • + Entries against expense accounts.

5. Widget "Outstanding Receivables"

  • +Sales not paid (pending collections of Invoices and Sales Tickets).

  • +Uncollected corrective purchases (pending receipts from corrective purchases).

6. Widget "Pending Payments"

  • + Unpaid Purchases (outstanding payments on Invoices or sales tickets).

  • + Unpaid Sales Rectifications (pending payments on the Sales Rectifications).

  • + Unpaid Payrolls (pending payments on Payrolls).

7. Widget "Profit"

  • = Operating Profit (you can find the breakdown of your Operating Profit in Reporting>Accounting>P&L).
