Direct Debit and Credit Card Expenses allow you to:

  • record non-invoice payments.

  • allocate costs to the correct cost centres and ledger codes.

  • include VAT and supplier or customer details where required.


To add a Direct Debit or Credit Card Expense

  1. Go to Transactions.

  2. Click Expenses.

  3. Select Direct Debit Expense or Credit Card Expense.

  4. Click the blue plus button.

  5. Enter a Description and select the Bank Account from the dropdown list.

    For Credit Card Expenses, also enter the Credit Card Owner’s name.

  6. Click the blue + button to add a line.

  7. Complete the following fields for each line:

    • Debit / Credit.

    • Reference.

    • Description.

    • Date.

    • Value.

    • Cost Centre.

    • Ledger Code.

    • Fund Code.

    • VAT Code.

  8. Once all lines have been added, click Save and Post.


Save or submit later

If you want to return to the expense later:

  • click Submit instead of Save and Post.

This saves the expense without posting it.

📌Note: The Contact field allows you to attach a Supplier or Customer to the transaction.

This is recommended where VAT or reporting requires a linked contact.
