💶Managing Debts in the Finance Panel

The Debts section allows you to track any money you owe (e.g., unpaid invoices, services, subscriptions). These entries are not yet counted as expenses until you mark them as paid.

➕ How to Add a New Debt

Go to the Debts tab and click “Add a Debt”. You’ll need to fill out the following fields:

• Name of the transaction

• Date

• Transaction number

• Amount

• Description (only visible inside the Debts section)

💡 Note: The “Description” will not appear in your main Expenses section — it’s used only for internal reference here.

❗ When Are Debts Counted as Expenses?

By default, debts are not included in your final expense reports or dashboard totals.

To make a debt count as an expense:

1. Edit the debt entry

2. Check the box "Mark as Paid"

3. In the field "Amount Paid", enter the amount you’ve paid:

   • 💰 If you partially paid (e.g. CHF 50 out of CHF 100), enter 50

   • ✅ If fully paid, enter 100 (or the full amount of the original debt)

4. Click Update to save

📂 What Happens After You Mark a Debt as Paid?

✅ The system will:

• Create a new Expense entry automatically

• Use the same details (name, amount, date, etc.) from the debt

• Exclude the description field

• Assign the expense to a “Dettes” category (automatically created if it doesn't already exist)

  • This category will be red-colored for better visibility

📎 You can also attach a file to this expense, such as a receipt or proof of payment.
