After a trip to the shop you usually have one receipt for several items. Log it once from the shopping list, and it becomes one expense linked to every item it covers.

Log a receipt#

  1. Tick off what you bought on the Shopping list.
  2. At the foot of the page, select Log receipt for these items.
  3. Under On this receipt, tick the items the receipt covers. The ones in view, and the ones you ticked on this visit (including those Buy all ticked on other tasks), are ticked to start with.
  4. Check the expense form. It's filled in with the estimated total, the supplier if the items share one, today's date, the Materials category and a note listing the items.
  5. Change the amount to what the receipt says.
  6. Select Add expense.

The expense is linked to each item and the quantity it covers. Their cost moves from the estimates into the project's spend.

Ticking items on the shopping list never opens an expense form on its own. Log the receipt when you're ready.
