## What it means for a shop owner

The clearer it is, the more useful the reports: electricity in its own account beats lumping it with all other costs. You need not design it from scratch, since the software comes with a ready one for your kind of shop and you add what you want.

## A worked example

Number 1000 for cash, 4000 for sales and 6100 for rent. Every entry is posted to these numbers.
