Entering travel expenses

NB

Question

I’m going to work abroad this summer. How do I enter my travel expenses (flight, accommodation, etc.)? I don’t see a category for here. How can I best make this a business trip, given that I’ll be working online from there as a digital nomad?

Great! Good luck :D

Create a cost category? Have I seen that mentioned here somewhere or elsewhere?

I remember that it's best to create a new cost category for that, under general expenses for example, and then travel expenses as a new cost category. Perhaps another tip that I use myself: I created a new supplier for restaurants, a private supplier, and named it 'restaurant'.Perhaps you could do the same for those travel expenses? A private supplier called "travel expenses"?

You won't be able to recover vAT on those expenses, so that's why you need a private supplier. Then you'll just be asked for the total amount (instead of excl. & incl. VAT) when you enter it.

And you don't have to create all those suppliers; it's perfectly fine to just bundle them under one supplier. It's easier for you too ;)
