#15. How do I create a team expense and pick the right Charge Type (Team / Player / Staff)?
Team Leaders
Finance Role
Audience: Team leaders, members with the FINANCE role.
Short answer: From the team's finance area, click Create
Expense. Pick a Charge Type — Team Charge splits across
selected members, Player Charge bills a single player, and
Staff Charge is staff-only. Optionally pull the date from a
calendar event.
Step-by-step
- Go to Finance → Create Expense for your team.
- Fill in description, amount, quantity, due-by date.
- Pick a Charge Type:
- Team Charge — total cost is split across members you
select (use the Split Total Cost Among Members checkbox).
Member list shows everyone eligible.
- Player Charge — bills a single player. The member list
automatically greys out anyone who can't be billed under
this type.
- Staff Charge — staff-only. Same auto-grey behavior. - Date of Expense: type a date, or click the calendar event
picker to pull the date from a practice / tournament / meeting
automatically. - Optionally tick Add 8.25% Sales Tax (or edit the rate inline).
- Optionally upload a receipt.
- Save.
What happens behind the scenes
- One LedgerExpense is created.
- Child Transaction rows are spawned per billed member,
using the per-member share (split or full amount, depending on
charge type and the Split checkbox). - The default due-by-days come from the team's Payment Settings
(separate values for practice / tournament / uniform / other).
Notes / gotchas
- Greyed-out members can't be reactivated for the wrong charge
type. That's intentional — Player Charge is a single-player
bill, and Staff Charge is staff-only by definition. - The calendar event picker is the new "Date of Expense → pick
practice or tournament" feature; it just auto-fills the date,
it doesn't link the expense to the event in any other way. - Changing the charge type after selecting members may grey out
some of your selections.
