By recording your expenses in InformerOnline alongside your income, you gain several advantages. For instance, from the VAT overview, you can not only easily file your sales tax return, but you also build a history of your income and expenses. This allows you to compare your company's performance over different periods, providing valuable information for your business management.

To record an expense, go to purchase in the left-hand menu and then click the "New" button above the expense overview.

Here you fill in the details as they appear on the purchase invoice.

Once all invoice lines have been added, you can then upload a PDF of the invoice. This keeps everything together and makes it easier for the accountant to check what you have entered. You can upload the PDF file by dragging it into the frame or by clicking the "Upload document" button. Once the file is added, click the "Save" button. A maximum file size of 2MB is supported.

This expense is now registered, and you can link the payment via "Bank/Cash" to this expense.

It is also possible to have a purchase invoice recognized by Informer. You can use the Scan & Recognize module or the RecognitionRobot module for this. The advantage of these modules is that the purchase invoice will be partially or even fully recognized and automatically booked.

After booking the invoice, a payment can be linked. Linking a payment is explained in the help item "How do I link a bank transaction?".

If the invoice was paid privately, you can refer to the help item "How do I book a private payment?".
