Adding expenses to a calendar-based task or an auto-task

Adding expenses to a calendar-based task, a series of tasks, or an auto-task, provides context to an expense by linking it to the information provided on the task itself. The task ID will be displayed on the owner statement for easy reference. 

Note:

You can use this feature instead of a recurring expense in the business model, or manually adding an expense as a transaction for tasks.
