An expense is money the business spends: rent, salary, bills, ads, packaging and more. Expenses come off net profit on their own date, and when paid from a money account they also lower its balance.

Add an expense#

    Open Accounting > Expenses

    The page lists expenses for the chosen period with filters for category and money account.

  2. 2

    Click Add expense

    Pick a Category, or use the Quick pick buttons.

    Fill in the amount and date

    Amounts are in taka, for example 1250 or 99.50. The date cannot be after today.

  4. 4

    Pick the money account the money left. Choosing No account (counts in profit only) lowers profit but no balance.

  5. 5
