How to Record Day-to-Day Construction Project Expenses

How to fill the Pengeluaran tab: date, category, description, amount, project, cost type and paid status, so project spending patterns can be read.

Komander.ai Panduan team · 2 min read · Updated 9 October 2026

The Pengeluaran tab records project and office costs already incurred, one row per expense: fuel, equipment hire, transport, meals, permits and the like.

It shows spending patterns: which categories are largest, which project spends most, and how much regular spending runs per month.

Where the numbers come from

Common questions

What is the difference between Pengeluaran and Hutang_Usaha?

Hutang_Usaha holds unpaid supplier bills. Pengeluaran holds costs already incurred, mainly regular costs and petty cash.

What do Tetap and Variabel mean?

Tetap (fixed) does not change with the volume of work, such as office rent; Variabel (variable) rises and falls with the work, such as equipment fuel.

What about expenses without a receipt?

Make a cash-out voucher signed by the recipient and a supervisor, then record it as usual.
