# Expenses, discounts, and shipments

A project's profit isn't only in its product lines. Installation, a courier delivery, or a discount you agreed with the client all change the total. In OrderEazi, you add these on the tabs under the lines on the **Costing** tab, and they're included in the project's totals and gross profit.

### Expenses

Use the **Expenses** tab for costs such as installation, equipment hire, or a subcontractor.

You'll need **View Expense Item** to see the tab and **Add Expense Item** to add one, in the **Expenses** permission group. Removing one needs **Remove Expense Item**.

1. Below the lines, select the **Expenses** tab.
2. Select **Add Expense**.
3. Fill in the **Expense Item**, **Supplier**, **Description**, **Date**, **Qty**, and **Unit Cost**.

The expense is added to **Expenses** and **Total Cost** in the totals.

**Example:** You add an installation expense of 2 hours at R450 an hour from your installer. **Expenses** goes up by R900, and your **GP Value** goes down by R900.

### Discounts

Use the **Discounts** tab for a discount on the whole project rather than on one line. Select **Add Discount**, then enter the **Discount Item**, **Description**, and **Discount Amount**. The discount shows in the totals under **Discount**.

You'll need **Can View Discount Lines**, in the **Projects** permission group. The **Discounts** tab doesn't appear with an Enterprise licence. To discount one product, use **Discount %** on its line instead.

### Shipments

Use the **Shipments** tab for courier deliveries booked through a courier app. It only appears when you have a courier app installed and the **Add Courier Item** permission, in the **Couriers** permission group.

The tab lists each shipment's **Reference**, **Courier**, **Description**, **Parcels**, **Unit Cost**, and **Total Cost**. Select **Add Courier** to add one, or open the menu on a shipment to:

* **Add Customer Charge:** Charge the client for the delivery.
* **View Waybill:** See the courier's waybill (the courier's tracking document).
* **View Labels:** Print the parcel labels, if your courier app supports labels.
* **View POD:** See the proof of delivery, if your courier app supports it.
* **Delete Shipment:** Cancel the shipment with the courier.

> **Warning:** **Delete Shipment** cancels the shipment with the courier straight away. It doesn't ask you to confirm.
