When you mark an outsourced job as 'Finished', the system automatically asks you if you want to create an expense for the outsourcing.

All the fields of this popup are already filled in, so you can just click on Save. An expense is created and added to your list of expenses.

There is a green icon next to the expense to specify that it is linked to a job. You can click on the client, the supplier or the linked job in the Details panel of the expense.

The list of expenses also shows the date of the expense, if it was paid (and when) and the amount. You can use the three dots at the end of the line to view, edit, pin, archive, duplicate and delete the expense.

You can also upload a document for this expense by clicking on Upload in the Details panel.

Below the name of the expense, you can see the name of the supplier to whom the job was outsourced and the client.

Below the amount of an expense, you can see the taxes applied to the expense.

If you click on Cancel (= on the cross) when the system asks you if you want to create an expense, note that you can always create an expense later by clicking on 'Create an expense' in the Billing panel of the outsourcing of the job.

When you mark an outsourced job as 'Finished', the system automatically asks you if you want to create an expense.

Click on 'Save'. An expense is created and added to your list of expenses, with a green icon next to it to specify that it is linked to a job.

This list shows the date of the expense, if it was paid (and when) and the amount. By default, all expenses will be defined as already paid. You can use the buttons on the right to edit the expense, delete it or upload a document for this expense. To define an expense as unpaid or to change the payment date, click on the little pencil on the right.

When you upload a document for the expense, the name of this document appears below the name of the expense. That's where you can also see the notes you might have written concerning the expense (by default, the system adds as a note the name of the supplier to whom the job was outsourced).

The arrow button allows you to archive the selected expenses.

Below the amount of an expense, you can see the taxes applied to the expense and/or the exchange rate (icon with the two arrows).

And of course, you can always use the filters to find what you're looking for in this list of expenses.

If you click on 'Cancel' when the system asks you if you want to create an expense, note that you can always create an expense later by clicking on 'Create' > 'An expense' in the 'Outsourcing' tab of the job.
