Consumables in Finance

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.

Finance settings: How do I create a consumable?

  • More > Settings > Getting started > Consumables > Create > Input consumable name > Consumable line item on invoice > Save.

  • More > Settings > Finance > Consumables > Create > Input consumable name > Consumable line item on invoice > Save.

What is the difference between the consumable line item on invoices and consumables in session fees?

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.
