Expense categories How you group the costs.

The expense categories of a championship. They are the same for all its events.

What it is for

Categories group the expenses of the events, so that the event balance shows where the money went: marshals, medical service, trophies. Set them once for the championship.

Step by step

1. Open the page. Go to Finance › Expense categories and choose the championship.
2. Add a category. In New category write the name, for example "Medical service", and click Add.
3. Rename it. Change the name in the field on its line and click Rename. The lines already written take the new name.
4. Hide it. Click Hide: the category is no longer offered for new lines but stays on the old ones. Use again brings it back.
5. Delete it. The bin button appears only when the category has no lines. Click it and confirm.

What ERA checks

• The name is required. A new category cannot have the name of an existing one of the championship: check the name also when you rename a category.
• A category with lines cannot be deleted: hide it instead. The Lines column shows how many lines use it.
