A consumable allows you to add an additional cost to a session. For example, you may have a full-day session but you charge extra for a hot lunch. In this scenario, the hot lunch would be added as a consumable.

Getting started: How do I create a consumable?

How can consumables appear on an invoice?

Combine the consumable cost into the session fee: This means if your session cost is 60 pounds & you have a consumable of £5. The £5 would be combined into the session cost resulting in the session cost showing as £65.

Show consumable line items separately to session fee: This means your consumable will be displayed on a separate line with its specific cost.
