# How to add a building expense in Plexflow

In Plexflow, each property has an **Expenses** section. This lets you record all charges associated with the building: maintenance invoices, repairs, insurance, and so on.

Adding these expenses helps you keep a clear view of the building’s finances, produce accurate reports, **and prepare the TAL grid correctly** (Tribunal administratif du logement).

## Steps to add an expense

### 1. Open the building

- Go to the **Properties** tab
- Click the building in question (folder icon).

### 2. Find the Expenses section

Scroll down the page to the Expenses section, located under the building’s service requests.

### 3. Click the Add button

A form opens so you can enter the expense details.

### 4. Fill in the expense form

Here are the available fields:

- **Description***: name or purpose of the expense (e.g. “Plumbing repair”).
- **Amount***: the cost in dollars.
- **Recurrence**: choose whether the expense comes back regularly (e.g. monthly, yearly).
- **Date***: date on which the expense was incurred.
- **Category**: select or create a category (Maintenance, Tax, Insurance, etc.).
- **Notes**: additional information (optional).
- **Attachment**: add an invoice or a receipt (accepted formats: PDF, images, DOCX / 12 MB max).
- **Expense Payment**: indicate whether the expense is already paid.
- **Taxable**: specify whether the expense is taxable.

### 5. Finish

- Add expense to save.
- The expense now appears in the building’s expense list.
