The Expenditure section will allow you to use many different search fields to help you locate expenses efficiently. Expenditure Search is at the top of the expenditure section. From here users can search for expenses; to search for an expense, populate the search field and press the Search button. To quickly remove the data you have entered into the search fields, click the Clear button.

There are two different search parameters users can use:

From - this field allows the user to enter a date. Any expense on or after that date will be shown.
To - this field allows the user to enter a date. Any expense on or before that date will be shown.

The next part to the expenditure section is how to sort expenses, as previously mentioned. Users can sort expenses in different ways. One of which is to Drag a column header to the grey area to sort the records. Column headers are such things as Description, Category, etc.

Using this method a user can add more than one search parameter. The example above is sorting the expenses by Category. This will group the expenses in the category they are assigned. These categories can be changed or added to within TM2 options. To remove this search drag and drop the selections anywhere below the grey space.

Another way of sorting the expenses is by clicking on the column header. This will sort the expenses into ascending order on the first click and descending order on the next click. Using this method you can only sort one column at a time, wherein the first one you could sort multiple columns. A user can tell what column(s) are being sorted by the arrow on the column header. When it is an up arrow it is sorted in ascending order and down signifies a descending order sort.

If a user wants to add a new expense, they can do this either by clicking the white page on the top left or

by right-clicking in the white space and select new expense.

Users can also edit the current expenses and delete reoccurring expenses by double-clicking on the expense or right clicking on the expense and selecting Edit Expense.
