Expenses correspond to amounts spent to attain the objectives of the folio. They can belong to any of the three categories described in the budget section Categories: OPEX, CAPEX or FINEX. Expenses can be single occurrence, or they can be recurrent. Recurrent expenses can also be amortized; in which case the amount associated with the payment will be evenly split on the payment period. Expenses should represent all money that you plan to be spent during the folio's time frame, such as rents, maintenance contracts, software license purchases, loan financing costs or mortgages.
Adding an expenseTo add an expense, either click the Plan Expense button or hit the "a" (for add) shortcut key. This brings the expense edition dialog. Check the "Plan another" box at the bottom of the dialog in order to create many expenses in sequence.
Select an existing expense to modify by clicking on it and then either click on the drop-down menu on the top-right part of the expense details view (on righthand side of the screen) and select the Edit option or hit the "e" (for edit) shortcut key. This will bring up the expense edition dialog.
Deleting an expenseSelect an existing expense to delete by clicking on it and then either click on the ... menu on the top-right part of the details panel (on righthand side of the screen) and select the Delete option or hit the d (for delete) shortcut key. This brings up a dialog to confirm expense deletion. Click the Delete button to confirm the deletion, or Cancel link to abort. Deletion is permanent, thus make sure you really want to delete an expense before proceeding. You can delete multiple expenses (even a mix of expenses and positions) at once. Refer to the Multiple Selection to learn how to perform a batch deletion. Attaching files to an expenseYou can attach files to an expense in order to keep related documents handy (invoices, quotations, etc.). To attach files to an expense, select it and then click button Attach Files in expense details panel on the right. This will bring up a dialog where you can pick a file (or multiple files simultaneously, if your browser allows it) and enter an optional comment. Viewing Expense detailsWhen selecting an expense, more information on that expense is displayed in the details panel on the right. Note that you can also select multiple expenses (or even a mix of expenses and positions) at once by selecting multiple lines. This provides you an aggregated view showing the total cost associated with these expenditures.
Copying an expense to actualSelect an existing expense to copy to actual by clicking on it and then either click on the drop-down menu on the top-right part of the expense details view (on righthand side of the screen) and select the Copy to actual option or hit the "t" (for to Actual) shortcut key. This will copy the selected expense to actual, including its attached files. You can copy multiple expenses to actual at once by selecting them in the budget (by pressing and holding the Control key while clicking the expenses to copy). You can then copy the selected expenses the same way you copy a single expense. The confirmation message will inform you of how many expenses have been copied. Expense costsThe budget page shows the calculated planned cost for each expense and expense groups (by type). The cost of an expense is calculated by multiplying its payment amount by the number of payments. Cost = Number of payments x Payment amount The number of payments depends on the recurrence definition for that expense and the portfolio's time frame. Only payments occurring (inclusively) between the portfolio's start and end dates (see Folio Configuration) are computed. Note also that non-working days are not taken into account (e.g. a rent payment won't be skipped if the incurrence date is a holiday). Example 1 - Recurrent expense Amount: 100$
Example 1 - Amortized recurrent expense Amount: 100$ (amortized)
