Adding expense items

A record in Expense is called an item. You can sort your Expense items into categories or add other information that you want to associate with the item.

To add an expense item:

1.Tap New.

Cursor of new item

Tap New

TIP You can also create a new Expense item by writing on the number side of the Graffiti writing area while in the Expense list screen. The first number you write begins the amount of your new Expense item.

2.Enter the amount of the expense.

3.Tap the Expense type pick list and select a type from the list.

As soon as you select an expense type, your handheld saves your entry. If you do not select an expense type, it does not save the entry.

TIP Another quick way to create a new Expense item is to make sure that no Expense item is selected in the Expense list, write the first letter(s) of the expense type, and then write the numerical amount of the Expense item. This technique takes advantage of the automatic fill feature. See “Options menu” later in this chapter for details.
