Hi,
Can we had a laundry category for expenses. Thank you
Sincerely,
Ian
We recommend using the “R&M > Cleaning” category for laundry expenses.
Hi,
Thank you. I understand but for keeping track of expenses it would be nice to split laundry into its own category. Thank you
Sincerely,
Ian
For better or worse, we have intentionally designed Stessa to be “opinionated” software. One of these opinions is that the total number of categories available for classifying transactions should be reasonably low. While we do sometimes add new categories based on Wishlist popularity, these events are rather rare, and that’s by design.
If categories were unlimited and could be added at will, there would soon be thousands of different categories in use across the platform. This would make reporting vastly more complicated due to formatting issues and would also render benchmarking nearly impossible. Perhaps most importantly, it’s our belief that if we keep adding more categories, Stessa will start to look and operate too much like a generic accounting program.
Reply. Gotcha. Thank you
