Once you have created a new Appointment Expense, you will be prompted to populate a number of fields detailing the break. Here, you can assign the relevant Date Information, the relevant Resource, the expense amount and write custom notes.&#x20;

After you have populated the Expense fields, simply click the blue tick in the top right corner to finalise the expense.&#x20;
