Where Entries Come From

The Finances page combines entries from different parts of Artlope.

Some entries are created automatically when you record something elsewhere. Others are added by hand.

Artwork sales

When you record a sale from an artwork page, Artlope creates a finance entry for it.

This appears in Finances as Artwork sale.

The entry is linked back to the artwork, so you can open it again from the report.

You can read more in Selling Artworks.

When you add an expense on an artwork, that cost also appears in Finances.

This is useful for tracking things like:

These entries are linked to the artwork they belong to.

You can read more in Track Expenses.

Exhibition-related expenses can also appear in Finances.

These entries are linked to the exhibition they belong to, so you can move back to the exhibition page when you need the broader context.

Submissions can also create finance entries.

These include:

Application fee is the cost of applying.

Acceptance fee is the fee due if you are selected.

Expected income is the amount you expect the opportunity to bring in.

These entries are linked to the submission.

You can also create finance entries directly on the Finances page.

Manual entries are useful for income or expenses that matter to your practice but are not tied to a specific artwork, exhibition, or submission.

For example:

Manual entries do not link to another item unless you created that connection through a different workflow.

Only manual entries can be edited or deleted from the Finances page itself.

Entries that came from other parts of Artlope should be updated from their original place, such as:

This helps keep the source information and the finance report in sync.
