HomeBank User manual

# Using the Vehicle cost feature

An additional capability of HomeBank is to follow the cost of each of your vehicles: fuel consumption and other costs. It will for example display some cost globally and for 100 km/miles, and some other useful information.

### Step 1: Create the vehicles categories

Create some categories for each of your vehicle. You can use categories or subcategories as well. Optionally you can set the default vehicle for the vehicle-cost report window from the wallet dialog.

For example, create an 'Audi 80' category:

- open the category dialog
- create a category named 'Audi 80'

### Step 2: Fill some transaction with vehicle-cost data's

Modify or add some transaction with necessary data for the vehicle cost to work:

- assign the category 'Audi 80' to every transaction for this vehicle, this includes refuel, maintenance, repair, insurance, or any others costs.
- add the specific vehicle cost data into each refuel memo field transaction, as follow. The memo field can also contains other texts as well.

d=xxxxxx | the odometer at refuel time ex.: d=92458
v=xx.xx | the fuel volume for a full refuel ex.: v=45.23
v~xx.xx | the fuel volume for a partial refuel ex.: v~15.41

### Step 3: View the results into the vehicle cost report

Open the vehicle cost report, select 'Audi 80' Vehicle and view the results.
