In ERAFinance › Expenses
Who uses itOrganizer
The expenses of one event, written line by line.
What it is for
Write here every cost of the round: marshals, medical service, trophies, track rental. ERA subtracts them in the event balance.
Before you start
The championship needs at least one expense category. Create them in Expense categories.
Step by step
- Open the page. Go to Finance › Expenses and choose the championship and the event.
- Fill in the line. Choose the Date (today by default), the Category, write the Description, for example "Ambulance, Saturday and Sunday", and the Amount €.
- Add it. Click Add. The line appears in the table, the most recent at the top, with the Total below and the total of each category.
- Correct a line. Click Edit on the line, change the data and click Save, or Cancel editing.
- Delete a line. Click the bin button and confirm.

What ERA checks
- Category, description and an amount above 0 are required.
- Only the categories in use are offered; a hidden category stays on the lines that already have it.
- Delete asks for a confirmation.
