How to log an expense

Record rent, utilities, supplier payments, and any other outflow — one-off or recurring.

4 min. przeczytaj

The Expenses page is where every non-PO outflow goes — rent, electricity, internet, fuel, payroll-style draws, and so on. You can log one-off or recurring expenses, mark them paid/partially paid/unpaid, and see them roll up on the Finances dashboard.

  1. 1

    Open Finances → Expenses

    From the sidebar, click Finances, then Expenses.

  2. 2

    Click + New Expense

    The New Expense modal opens.

  3. 3

    Fill in the basics

    Required:

    • Amount — the expense total
    • Expense Date — defaults to today
    • Category — pick from the dropdown or create one inline
    • Vendor — who you paid (required)
  4. 4

    Add a description (optional)

    Up to 100 characters — a short note like 'October electricity' helps when filtering reports later.

  5. 5

    Pick a payment status

    Three options:

    • Paid — pick the Payment Account (cash, bank, card on file) the money came out of
    • Partially Paid — log this and add installments later for the remainder
    • Unpaid — record now, mark as paid when you actually pay
  6. 6

    Set the frequency

    Pick Once for a one-off expense, or one of Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly to make it recurring. Recurring expenses auto-create future entries on the schedule you pick.

  7. 7

    Save

    The expense appears in the table and rolls into your Expense Stats — total expenses, top spend categories, and the Expenses by Payment Method chart.

Wskazówka dla profesjonalistów

  • Use the bulk Mark All as Paid action when you settle multiple unpaid expenses at once (e.g. paying a stack of supplier bills together).
  • Recurring expenses are best for fixed-amount, fixed-date items like rent. For variable bills like electricity, log them as Once each month.
