Each expense has the following fields:

• user
• project (and customer)
• activity (optional)
• description (free text field)
• the cost (can be hidden for default user, if you use default cost via category)

• a billable flag (non-billable expenses will not be added to your invoices)
• an export flag (to make sure, that each expense will be invoiced only once)

Importing from Kimai v1

This bundle supports data import from Kimai v1, but you need to imported the other data (like customers) first.

An example for the import command:

bin/console kimai:bundle:expenses:import-v1 "mysql://username:password@127.0.0.1:3306/database?charset=utf8" "kimai_"

Kopiera filer

Extract the ZIP file and upload the included directory and all files to your Kimai installation to the new directory:

var/plugins/ExpensesBundle/

The file structure needs to look like this afterwards:

var/plugins/
├── ExpensesBundle
│   ├── ExpensesBundle.php
|   └ ... more files and directories follow here ...

Rensa cache

After uploading the files, Kimai needs to know about the new plugin. It will be found once the cache was re-built. Call these commands from the Kimai directory:

bin/console kimai:reload --env=prod

rm -r var/cache/prod/*

You might have to set file permissions afterwards:

chown -R :www-data .
chmod -R g+r .
chmod -R g+rw var/

Skapa databas

Run the following command:

bin/console kimai:bundle:expenses:install

This will create the required database tables and update them to the latest version.

Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:

• Delete the directory var/plugins/ExpensesBundle/
• Execute all installation steps again:
  • Kopiera filer
  • Rensa cache
  • Update database with bin/console kimai:bundle:expenses:install
