Simple Financials and Inventory
|
The Simple Financials and Inventory Website was created to ease your company's financial and inventory tracking. It is written to show an accurate accounting of your finances and inventory value, but it can only be as accurate as the data you enter. If you find that data is being mis-represented, or is hard to read in any way, please let us know through the feedback form in the menu. The issue will be addressed quickly.
The security of your data is important, and we have taken many steps to keep your data secure. The site uses SSL encryption. Your password is encrypted before storage; this means that we are unable to see your password in the database, and if it needs to be changed because it has been forgotten, you will need to use the forgot password link in the menu. We cannot make the change from our side. There are also measures in place to stop someone from uploading bad data to the site, to help keep anyone from compromising your stored data.
We will never share or sell your information. This includes your user information, stored data, and usage information. We do use a cookie, which is stored on your computer which records your most recent log in and a timer. This cookie is checked when you open the site and automatically logs you in so you don't have to log in every time. The timer is set for 2 weeks.
If you are on a public computer, or do not wish for your next access to the site to be automatically log in, please press the 'Log out' button and close your browser. This will nullify the cookie, and erase any session data your browser has stored.
From your side, the best security measure is to not give your log in information to anyone who doesn't need access. If someone can log in to your account, they can make changes to your data. Change your password if you feel your password may be compromised.
Even with the layers of security in place, there is still a chance someone can get in and compromise your data. We cannot guarantee complete protection, but we take your data and security seriously, and will take whatever steps necessary to keep it secure.
In the Settings menu there is a Backup feature. Use it as often as you feel is appropriate. The site will automatically create a back up during closing, but you can also create a current backup anytime. All of your backups are downloadable as a CSV file, which can be opened and edited with any spreadsheet, or text reader program.
We have taken steps to secure your data and log in information, but the use of this site is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee someone won't find a way in and have access to your data. But we have tried to keep this risk as minimal as possible, and keeping your log in information secure will minimize the risk even further.
Please use the feedback form if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, and we will address them as quickly as possible.

Using 'Simple Financials and Inventory' to Track Nutrition
SFaI can be a useful tool to track your intake of calories, vitamins or minerals during the day. It's easy to update a changing diet and once the food information is in there it is always available. The nutritional information is easy to find on the internet and you can just copy and paste it into the data base.

Step One: Enter a food into the Inventory.
Here is a screen shot of the Inventory page. To enter a new food, click on the 'New Inv Item' line on the left. The input section will be blank. Find the nutritional information on the internet, copy and paste the list of things you want to track into the Description space. In the Name space put the Food name, what specifically you are tracking and the volume to which the list refers. In the Cost per unit space put the amount found from the list. In the Unit of measure put the unit of measure found from the list. A gram is a unit of weight. A milligram (mg) is one one-thousand of a gram and a microgram (ug) is one one-thousand of a milligram. Calories is not a weight measurement so the all the Inventory items tracking calories is just 'each'.
If you use this program for other recipes, be sure to designate the nutrition tracking in it's own category so it doesn't get lost. You can also create sub-categories if your list get really long.
Step Two: Set up 'Recipe' to track intake.

On the Recipe page enter a new recipe. Under the name I put 'Nutrition' so the all fall together in the list of recipes. (I make salves so I have many recipes). Then I put what is being tracked by this recipe, in this case 'calories'. Last I put the Daily requirement for a person my age.
In the Ingredients section, list what you eat in one day under Item Name. In the white box start typing the name of the food. The gray box beneath will populate with Inventory items beginning with what you have typed. I usually just type the first letter and find it in the gray box. If you had entered the serving size in the name of the food then you can put in how much you had eaten. Onions, in the example, shows how many calories is in one cup. I only ate half a cup so in the Qty box I put .5, half a serving. Clicking on Add Ingredient will show you how much calories were in that serving and add it to the Total Cost figure above. Enter what you eat during the day. Click Update Recipe to save it and reopen it after lunch etc. At the end of the day you can see what you have consumed and if you can have desert after dinner and still be okay. Next day just go to the Recipe, backspace or delete each quantity in Qty column to take out the previous day's entries and start anew. |
