| Description | Text | A brief note on the campaign or purchase (e.g., “Q3 Facebook Retargeting”) |
| Expense Category | Text (Dropdown) | Categorize: Ads, Software, Content Creation, Labor, Tools, Agency Fees. |
| Amount Spent ($) | Currency | Total money outflow for this item. |
| Revenue Generated ($) | Currency | Totals from sales attributed to this channel (use UTM tracking or CRM data). |
| ROI (%) | Number (Calculated) | = (Revenue - Expense) / Expense * 100. |
| Status | Text (Dropdown) | Pending, Active, Completed, Over Budget. |
