# Create New Expense from Transactions

To add** Expenses **through** Transactions **to an **Expense Report** you would need to create the **Expense Report** first. 

Learn more about how to create an **Expense Report** here. 

Once you have the **Expense Report **created, go to the** Transactions** option from the **Entry Tasks **navigation menu.

The **Transactions** list window will open.

Assuming that you have already verified matches, marked** Transactions** as **Personal** or **Cash Advances, **you may click on the **Transaction**(s) that you wish to add to the **Expense Report**. Once selected, choose the **Expense Report** from the drop-down field then click on **Add to Report**.

This way the** Transactions** will be linked to an **Expense** from the selected **Expense Report**. However, if the transaction has the **Verify Match** puzzle icon  , the **Expense** might be missing e.g. **Receipt** or other details. For this, you would need to **Verify Match** from this **Expense**. Learn more from [this article](https://support.expensepoint.com/verify-match-from-expenses). 

The easiest way would be to** Verify Match** while you are in the **Transactions** list window and only then to add the **Transaction **to the **Expense Report**. Learn more about **Verifying Match** from the **Transactions **in [this article](https://support.expensepoint.com/verify-match-from-expenses). 

Either way you do it, the moment you click the **Verify Match**, the** Expense** will be added to the **Expense Report**. 

On expenses created through **Transactions**, the date, the establishment, and the total will come from the credit card statement and will auto populate the **Expense** with this info. However, other important information pertaining to the **Expense** will need to be entered next. 

You will notice that such** Expenses**, will display **Edit required** status, because they were created only based on the initial available information either from the **Transaction** or **Receipt** and is missing the details for the rest of the **Expense** fields.

You will need to double click on the **Expense** line to open it and continue adding the relevant information.
