Expenses

Duplicate an expense

Copy an existing expense into a new one — useful for recurring costs like a monthly subscription.

Recurring cost? Instead of retyping it each month, duplicate an existing expense.

Before you start
Role
OwnerAdminManager

Expenses are manage-tier only (Owner, Admin, Manager).

Duplicate

Find the expense

Open Expenses and locate the row you want to copy. Duplicate works on any expense — including ones that are already locked to an invoice, which is exactly the recurring-cost case.

Choose Duplicate

Pick Duplicate from the row's actions. The create form opens, prefilled with the original expense's details.

Review and save

The date is set to today and receipts are not copied — everything else carries over. Adjust anything you need, attach fresh receipts if you have them, and save.

What happens next

You get a brand-new expense, unconnected to any invoice, ready to be billed when you next invoice the client.
