Managing Standard Expenses (Expense Templates)

Standard Expenses allows you to set and store all of your usual and regular advertising costs that you incur on a property or that you may want to charge back to the Vendor through VPA.

For example, You might have 3x signboard products you offer, small, medium and large, each costing $100, $200 and $300 (respectively). You can store these 3 Standard Expenses and apply them to properties when needed.

Standard Expenses are used as a template only. Once applied to the property you can change the price for that individual property if required.
