# Expenses

### What Is the Expenses Action?

The Expenses action allows you to record any costs associated with an Appointment or Shift. These might include travel-related expenses, supplies, or other approved items as defined by your organisation.

### Creating an Expense

1. Tap the **Expenses** button from the Appointment or Shift actions menu.
2. Enter the required details:
   * **Date** of the expense
   * **Amount**
   * **Note** (optional, to provide more context)
3. Tap **Save** once the information is complete.

### Managing Expenses

After saving, your expense will appear in the **Expenses list** for that Appointment or Shift, showing the **Date** and **Amount**. From here you can:

* Reopen the expense entry to update it.
* **Edit** the details if needed.
* **Delete** the expense if it was added in error.

{% hint style="info" %}
Just like with Notes, additional actions such as attaching files can only be done after the expense has been saved. To use these options, save the expense first, then re-enter it from the list.
{% endhint %}
