It would be great if we could track business expenses that are not related to a specific property or booking.

Associate with profile maybe?

But you can - an Expense can just be associated with a particular owner, not a booking or property.

True - actually that will work for what I need - this can be removed from feature request

But what if the expense is just part of the commission you get. Would be good to be able to track them to see a report later for taxes?

Can you explain a bit more? I'm not quite sure how an expense that is in commission would work.

If it's commission, it would be broken down in the reports under commission already. If it's an expense, it would separate out that way.

I don't quiet understand that part.
Are you saying - if you have expenses to run your business, you want to put them into OR?
For example: if you do some additional advertising not charged to owners- are you looking for a spot in OR for that?

Yes, just thinking out loud. We changed our commission rate and included hospitality extras like paper towels, toilet paper, laundry pods, soaps, shampoos etc. So now it's no longer an expense for the owners and we don't track them that way on their statements but it would be handy if we could keep track of the expense for ourselves in OR. They wouldn't be for owners, properties or bookings but would be part of the monthly PM breakdown. Am I making sense?
