### FAQ about Other Expenses

<details>

<summary>What kind of expenses should I track here?</summary>

This is completely up to you. It is not needed for the functionality of Roivenue but it can help you not to forget important costs during the analysis process.

* It is good to include costs directly related to the channels present in Roivenue (typically all digital channels) so it makes sense to add the agency cost/maintenance cost of a channel.&#x20;
* Other sort of costs are influencers and paid promotions not included in the data in ad platforms. These might significantly influence how profitability on a channel will look like.
* It is up to you if you want to include promotions not directly connected to digital channels like print advertising, TV or radio.

<summary>When I add an expense, am I able to filter these costs out during analysis to see the pure online performance?</summary>

Yes, there is a filter called "Investment Type" and any costs added through the Other Expenses feature will be under value "Other Expense"

<summary>I created an expense but I cannot see it in the list of existing expenses.</summary>

Please check if the selected date range is matching the date range of the expense. It can happen that you are retrospectively adding a cost and the default date range does not cover this period anymore. Just change the date range and you should see the cost in the list.

* Example: In July, you create a cost for January. You date picker is set to cover last 3 months of data (May, June, July). In this case, you will not see the newly added cost in the list.

<summary>Can other expenses be included in exports?</summary>

Yes, they are included by default. The cost name will be exported in the **Ad** **Campaign** dimension. If you want to exclude these expenses from export, use the built-in filtering feature during the export setup.
