# Add Expenses to a Job

You use this page to understand how to record expenses against a specific job in CrewCost. Adding expenses to a job helps you keep job costs accurate, track profitability in real time, and ensure your job budgets and reports reflect actual spending as costs are incurred.

Expenses can be linked to a job directly from the Job Center or while creating an expense from anywhere in the platform.

### Add Expenses via Job Center

This option is useful when you are already working inside a job and want to quickly associate a new expense with it.

To add an expense from the Job Center:

1. Go to **Job Center**.
2. Open an existing job.
3. Select **Add to your job**.
4. Click **Expense**.
5. Fill in the expense details, including vendor, amount, and required accounting fields.
6. Assign the correct **Cost Code** and **Cost Type** so the expense flows into the job budget correctly.
7. Select **Save** to complete the process.<br>

The expense is immediately linked to the job and reflected in job cost and profitability metrics.

### Add Expenses via Quick Create

You can also create and assign an expense to a job from anywhere in CrewCost using the Quick Create option.

To add an expense using Quick Create:

1. Select **+ New** from the top navigation.
2. Choose **Expense**.
3. While creating the expense, select the appropriate **Job**.
4. Complete the remaining required fields.
5. Select **Save** to record the expense.
