The dashboard helps you monitor your company’s financial performance through a set of charts and tables that highlight key information related to sales, expenses, collections, and payments. It serves as the main page that gives you an overall view of your business as soon as you log in.
Viewing the Dashboard
To access the dashboard, click “Dashboard” from the main menu in Wafeq.
You will see a page that presents a quick summary of your company’s financial performance.
You can control how the data is displayed using two main options:
- Time Range (default: current fiscal year)
Click the fiscal year range to adjust the period shown in the dashboard analytics.
View By
Click “View By” and choose one of the following options:
Month: to display the data month by month.
Quarter: to display the data by quarters.
Year: to display the data in a consolidated yearly view.
Dashboard Components
The dashboard is made up of several main sections that vary depending on your company’s data, and it is divided into two tabs: “Profit & Loss” and “Cash Flow.”
Profit & Loss Tab
1) Revenue, Expenses, and Net Profit
This section provides an overview of your company’s financial performance for the selected period, presented through three main indicators:
Revenue: The total amount generated from sales.
Expenses: The total operating costs incurred during the period.
Net Profit: The difference between revenue and expenses, representing the clearest measure of business performance.
How this section helps you?
Understand whether the business generated a profit or a loss during the period.
Compare performance between the current and previous periods.
Monitor whether the business is growing, declining, or maintaining a stable performance.
Chart
The chart shows changes in revenue, expenses, and net profit over time, helping you visually track financial performance across the selected period.
Show Summary
You can display a comparison table for the current and previous periods, or hide it when not needed.
2) Gross Profit
This section focuses on measuring your core profitability before accounting for operating expenses, by comparing:
Revenue for the period: Total sales.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): The direct costs of producing goods or delivering services.
Gross Profit: The difference between revenue and COGS, and a key indicator of the efficiency of your sales and purchasing operations.
How this section helps you
Evaluate your basic profit margin before any operating expenses.
Identify whether your cost of sales is high compared to revenue.
Assess product pricing efficiency and the profitability of your core activities.
Chart
The chart shows how revenue, COGS, and gross profit evolve over time, making it easier to observe whether your profit margin is improving or declining.
Show Summary
You can display the numerical values for the current and previous periods, or hide them when not needed.
For this reason, gross profit is usually higher than net profit, since net profit accounts for all costs, not just the cost of sales.
3) Revenue and Expenses by Branch / Cost Center / Project
This section provides detailed financial analysis based on your company’s organizational structure, allowing you to understand revenue and expenses from different perspectives.
The charts appear only if your company uses branches, cost centers, or projects.
What these charts show
Each of the following is displayed:
Revenue by branch
Expenses by branch
Revenue by cost center
Expenses by cost center
Revenue by project
Expenses by project
Each chart presents the amounts associated with every branch, cost center, or project for the selected period.
How this section helps you
Identify which branches are most profitable and which incur higher expenses.
Track the performance of cost centers and determine which activities consume more budget.
Evaluate active projects and understand which ones generate higher revenue or incur higher costs.
Support operational decisions such as allocating resources or optimizing spending.
Chart
Each chart compares the amounts across branches, cost centers, or projects, helping you visualize differences between various units within the company.
Show Summary
You can view a detailed breakdown of the values for each category, or hide the summary for a cleaner view.
4) Largest Overdue and Outstanding Invoices
This section displays four tables that help you track invoices affecting your cash flow, whether related to customers or suppliers.
Each table highlights the largest amounts that require immediate attention, with the option to jump directly to the relevant list inside the system by clicking “View.”
a) Largest Overdue Sales Invoices
Shows sales invoices that have passed their due dates and remain unpaid.
This helps you stay on top of collections and take timely action with customers, including reviewing the number of overdue days and the outstanding balance.
b) Largest Overdue Purchase Bills
Displays supplier bills that have exceeded their due dates.
This helps you monitor overdue obligations and avoid delays in payment.
c) Largest Outstanding Sales Invoices
Includes all unpaid sales invoices, even if they are not yet overdue.
This helps you understand the expected impact of open invoices on your upcoming cash flow.
d) Largest Outstanding Purchase Bills
Shows supplier bills that remain unpaid before their due dates.
This helps you plan ahead and understand upcoming financial commitments.
What happens when you click “View”?
Clicking “View” on any table takes you directly to the corresponding list (sales invoices or purchase bills), with the appropriate filter automatically applied (such as overdue or outstanding).
This allows you to review details or take action quickly.
Cash Flow Tab
This tab provides a direct view of your cash balance and the movement of funds within your bank accounts for the selected period.
Each bank account is displayed by its currency, showing both the current balance and the net cash flow for that account.
To access this section, click the “Cash Flow” tab from within the dashboard.
1) Cash Overview — Bank Accounts in Your Company’s Base Currency (in this example, the base currency is UAE Dirham — AED)
This section displays the current balance of your bank accounts in the base currency for the selected period.
For each account, you can view:
The bank account name
The balance based on the bank statement for the selected period
The option to expand or collapse details using “Show Summary”
How this section helps you
Quickly check the available cash balance in each account.
Compare balances across accounts within the same currency.
Ensure that your cash position is sufficient to cover current obligations.
2) Cash Flow by Bank Statement — in Your Company’s Base Currency (in this example, the base currency is UAE Dirham — AED)
This section shows the net cash movements within each bank account in the base currency for the selected period.
It includes:
Total inflows and outflows
Net cash flow (increase or decrease in the account balance)
How this section helps you
Understand cash movement during the period (inflows vs. outflows).
Identify periods of strong or tight cash flow.
Compare actual movements with the current account balance.
If your company has bank accounts in other currencies—such as EUR, USD, or any additional currency—and these accounts have bank statements recorded in the system, the dashboard will display cash-flow charts and summaries for those currencies as well.
However, accounts that do not have bank statements or do not contain actual cash movements will not appear automatically in this tab.
