Your expenses

Expenses are the costs you incur - fuel, parking, materials bought on the fly, tools. Logging them keeps your job costing honest and gives your accountant the receipts. Open it from Stock & buying → Expenses.

What's on the list

Each row is an expense, with what it was for, the amount, the job it's against (if any). Open the expense to check its attached receipt.

  • New expense (top-right) logs one.

Find what you need

  1. Search for the payee, job reference or words from the expense notes.
  2. Match the Date, Category and Amount to the receipt before opening the row. A supplier may have several expenses for the same amount.
  3. On the saved expense, review the cost and job link. Use Upload receipt in the Receipt card if the evidence is missing; follow Log an expense.

Clear the search if nothing matches. Check for an existing entry before recording another cost: an expense records money already spent; it does not pay the supplier.

Correct or remove an expense

  1. Open the expense and choose Edit.
  2. Correct the date, payee, amount or job link, then choose Save changes.
  3. Reopen the saved expense and compare it with the receipt.

For a duplicate or mistaken entry, choose Delete in the editor and read the confirmation. Deleting removes the expense from spending and cash reports; it does not reverse a payment at your bank. Choose Delete only when that is the intended correction, then check for Expense deleted. If an issued RCTI prevents a change, keep that record and ask your accountant how to correct it.
