Indeed, suppose I created a campain in which I add different clients (for example a trip to a foreign country where I meet 3 different clients), I would like this campaign to be linked to the expenses I have. Say I have a plane ticket, taxis and 1 hotel night, I would like those expenses to be linked to the 3 clients. With Zoho expense, it is not possible at the time (or maybe it is but I do not know how!). thanks
