Expenses & supplier costs

Keep supplier costs attached to the plan.

Link supplier invoices, staff claims and direct costs back to planned project expenses, then see plan versus actual before on-charging eligible costs.

01Costs received

Record the cost that arrived.

Capture a supplier invoice, staff claim or direct cost against its project or task, with the details you need to review and bill it.

01

Supplier invoices

Record the supplier, the amount and whether it can be on-charged.

02

Staff claims

Keep the claimant and reimbursement status with the expense.

03

Direct costs

Record a direct project cost without presenting it as a supplier invoice.

02Planned and received

Each cost lands against what you planned.

The link back to the planned cost survives project versions. It carries the supplier, billing choice and markup into the recorded cost, then warns without blocking when cost exceeds plan.

01

The planned cost stays linked

Keep the link to the planned cost as project versions change.

02

Supplier details carried forward

Carry supplier, billing choice and markup from the selected plan into the recorded cost.

03

Warning, not a hard block

Show that recorded cost exceeds plan without preventing the entry.

03On-charged costs

On-charge selected costs deliberately.

Choose which costs can be on-charged, apply markup or target margin, and carry that amount into invoice expense lines.

01

Markup

Recalculate the on-charged amount when cost or markup changes.

02

Target margin

Calculate the supplier-cost fee from a target margin where required.

03

Eligible invoice costs

Select uninvoiced supplier costs marked for billing for invoice expense lines.

04Approval & reporting

Approve and inspect each claim.

Authorised users can approve or reject a pending expense, then filter reports by supplier, office or status.

01

Approval status

Track each expense from draft through approval to paid.

02

Access required to approve

Require expense edit access plus access to the relevant entry, project and office.

03

Expense filters

Filter by supplier, office or status. Then see what can be on-charged and what is already invoiced.

05Practice overhead

Keep overhead out of project costs.

Keep practice operating expenses in dated recurring versions, then include them in weekly or monthly forward financial views.

01

Recurring expense

Set the recurrence separately from project costs.

02

Dated versions

Keep each amount change with its dates and reason, and the versions before it.

03

Overhead in forward views

Include operating expenses in weekly or monthly financial views.

Supplier bills and payments stay elsewhere.

Record project expenses and compare them with planned costs. Supplier-bill processing, purchase-order matching and payments stay in your other systems. Receipt upload is not included.
