Expenses vs Disbursements: Understanding the difference in Nojumi

You should note that disbursements are different from expenses and supplier bills. Disbursements get added as an entry and end up on your invoice and as such increase your accounts receivable and ultimately your revenue when you are reimbursed. 

Expenses and supplier bills on the other hand end up in the expense section of your Income Statement and therefore reduce the net profit. Therefore, when you add a disbursement, Nojumi adds the same expense, balancing your disbursement with an equal expense.

When They Are Not Identical (Estimates and Averages)

Most of the time they are identical, but sometimes they are not. This discrepancy usually occurs when you charge an estimated amount or an average amount for a client cost, rather than the exact hard cost.

• Disbursements: These are added as entries that can be added directly on a client's invoice. They increase your Accounts Receivable and eventually count toward your Revenue once the client pays you back.
• Expenses & Supplier Bills: These are operational costs of running your firm (like courier fees or legal tech). They are recorded in the expense section of your Income Statement and directly reduce your Net Profit.
