Quickly bring your Event Budgets up to speed by importing Expenses. You can create Expenses in one or many Events with a single import.

All of Circa's built-in Expense and Payment fields can be used to create new Expenses via import: 

• Event ID (required)
  • To get Event ID for an individual event, navigate to the Events Dashboard and enable the Event ID column in the Metadata section of the Add Columns menu.
• Expense Name (required)
• Amount (required)
• Currency
• Payment Type
• Payment Status
  • Payment Status will default to "Unpaid" if no Payment Status column is included in the import file
• Payment Due Date
• Payment Method
• Paid Date
• PO #
• Ref. Code
• Note

Imports should be in a CSV spreadsheet format with a row for each Expense and a column header for each field. Here's an example import spreadsheet you can use for reference.
