Problem Statement:
- Currently, Hospitable only offers "Supplies," "Maintenance," and "Uncategorized" as expense categories for owner statements
- Expenses like owner shopping, errands, and other owner-requested services don't fit well under "Supplies" or "Maintenance"
- This makes it difficult to accurately categorize and track these types of expenses on owner statements
Current Workaround:
- Using "Supplies" as a catch-all for non-maintenance expenses like shopping and errands
- This is confusing and doesn't accurately reflect the nature of these expenses
Impact:
- Inaccurate expense categorization on owner statements
- Owners may be confused about what expenses are being charged
- Makes it harder to track and report on different types of operational costs
Proposed Solution:
- Add a new expense category called "Extra Service" (or similar) to Hospitable's transaction categories
- This category would be specifically for owner-requested services like shopping, errands, and other non-maintenance expenses
Unlock:
- Accurate categorization of all owner statement expenses
- Clearer communication with owners about what they're being charged for
- Better tracking and reporting of different expense types
