Expenses

Expenses allow you to track the nature and amount of expenditures that are made for a particular Event or for an Activity within the Event. To do so, Expense rows may be linked to either an Event row or an Activity row. In either case, the Expense row contains information on the Expense Item, the Type of expenditure this row represents, the Cost, the Expense Date, the Vendor, the Account from which the expense will be paid, and a Comment.

When an Expense row is linked to an Event, the amount of the Expense will automatically be added to the Cost field in the Event row. If the Expense is linked to an Activity row, the amount of the Expense will automatically be added to the Cost field in the Activity row to which it is linked, and also to the Event row to which that Activity row is linked. Therefore, the Cost of the overall Event will include those Expenses linked directly to the Event or to any Activity that is part of the Event.
