To enter a new record in the Expense register, first open the register as described here, then click [New] in the Button Bar or use the Ctrl-N (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-N (Macintosh) keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, select an Expense record similar to the one you want to enter and click [Duplicate] on the Button Bar.

The 'Expense: New' window is opened, empty if you clicked [New] or containing a duplicate of the highlighted Expense record.

Since the amount of information stored about each Expense record will not fit on a single screen, the Expense window has been divided into two cards. At the top of each is the header. This contains the Expense Number and the Person's Initials and Name. There are two named buttons ('tabs') in the header.

By clicking the tabs you can navigate between cards. The header is always visible, as a reminder of the Person and date of the Expense claim you are working with.
