Api/Expenses/Add adds new expense to Expenses module.

Requirements

• You need access to Expenses module. If you don't have it, please ask it from your sales manager.
• API user must have access to:
  • • Expenses module
    • Expenses - allow editing of expenses permission
  You can give permissions to those permissions via roles assigned to that user via settings - roles.

Syntax

Bold fields are mandatory, other ones optional:

Api/Expenses/add (fuelCardNumber, timestamp, productType, provider, amount, sum, nettoSum, receiptNumber, comment)

• fuelCardNumber: system looks for fuel card numbers, what are inserted to settings - vehicles - fuel card number field, and tries to match expense with car using that field
• timestamp: date and time, when expense occurred. Should be in format YYYY-MM-DD [HH:mm:[SS]] (if parts of time are skipped or omitted, zeros are used instead).
• productType: specifies, what type your expense is. If you leave it empty, special system type Fuel is used. See separate section below.
• provider: you can use it for any purpose, to point out, who made that expense. Usually it contains filling station name, like "Lukoil", "Olerex" etc.
• amount: amount or volume of product type, like fuel amount in litres
• sum: sum of expense with VAT (Value Added Tax)
• nettoSum: sum of expense without VAT
• receiptNumber: add this, if you want receiptNumber to be together with expense
• comment: any additional text, what describes that expense

Product types

Under FC+ - settings - categories - expense types, there is list of currently defined expense types. There is at least one predefined system type, Fuel, what marks all sorts of fuel types, like diesel and gasoline. Lots of reports look for only expenses, what have Fuel type, so for all fuel-related types, you should use this type.

General algorithm for using productType field:

• is it empty? Then use Fuel type
• does it match with already defined expense types? Then return ID of one of those types
• none above: create new expense type and return its ID

Response

If adding expense is successful, <response/> contains following items:

• id: unique number of expense. Ask it with Expenses/getById command later
• objectId: unique number of object, what is same what we get with Vehicles/get command
• typeId: returns ID of expense product type
• amount: amount or volume of expense, like fuel in litres
• sum: sum with VAT
• nettoSum: sum without VAT
• provider: free text, what is usually filled on manual import, and may contain text like "Lukoil", "Circle-K" etc.
• comment: free text describing that expense
• receiptNumber:
• timeStamp: exact time of that expense

• "No permissions": API user needs access to expenses module, and to expenses/allow editing of expenses permission
• "Unknown fuel card number": there is no such vehicle, what has this fuel card number
