How to Record an Expense

Track any chargeable items or expenses incurred during the case by recording an expense record.

How to add a charge/expense

  1. Select the Actions menu in the top located next to the search icon, and select Add Expense.

  2. Complete the form:

    • Add a title

    • Enter the amount

    • Select the Incurred Date

    • Select the Incurred By user

    • Select an Expense Category (optional)

    • Select a Secondary Fee Type (optional)

    • Search the contact who the expense pertains to and their matter (if applicable)

    • Add a description

  3. Click Save Expense when finished

Note: The Secondary Fee Type allows users to identify expenses as either Pass Through Expense or Fixed Fee Expense. This feature was added to LollyLaw to provide users with more clarity regarding the expense type. 

  • Pass Through Expense: This is a cost that a firm incurs from a third party, such as a filing fee or materials. It is not a service that the firm offers.

  • Fixed Fee Expense: This is an agreed-upon amount for a service that is being provided.

The Pass Through Expense will appear in the Expenses section of the invoice. The Fixed Fee Expense will appear in the Flat Fee section of the invoice.

Note: Expense records will appear under the Matter > Time & Expense tab. Once an expense is created, users can generate an invoice.
