If you want to record more expenses, click directly in the entry mask on "Save and new". You save the expense that has just been captured and reach a new blank entry mask to capture an additional expenses.

Expense amount
Here you can choose the currency and enter the amount incl. VAT. bexio then automatically calculates the correct amount. If another VAT rate is used or the invoice does not include VAT, click "Advanced" to see and use additional options.
If VAT rates are missing, you can enter these into bexio yourself. To find out how, read "Managing VAT rates".
Posting date
The date is a mandatory field. Please select the date on which you want to have the service paid because the expense will automatically be posted on this date.
Banking account and posting description
Here you can choose from among all of the banking accounts you defined. To find out how to add a banking account, please read "Managing banking accounts and setting up ESR".
In the description, enter which type of expense this is. That will help you keep track of and allocate your expense later.
Billing an expense
