When trying to put an expense in a category sometimes the category doesn’t fit the invoice. Workwear or tools for example

Yes, you can definitely add an expense line for those items by creating custom categories that fit your business needs.

 

To do this, go to the Transactions section in the left menu and select Bank transactions. Then, click the dropdown menu next to New transaction and choose Manage categories. Select the appropriate expense type and click on + Add category. You can create a name for the category and add a description. Finally, remember to select Save to complete the process.

 

Once you’re finished, these new custom categories will be available for you to use.
