What is the first step in adding a new expense to a project in Xero?

The first step in adding a new expense to a project in Xero is to navigate to the project. This action establishes the context in which the expense will be recorded, ensuring that it is appropriately linked to the correct project. Once you are within the project's interface, you can then proceed to add a new expense entry, where details about the expense, such as amounts and descriptions, can be specified. This sequence is crucial because starting the process within the relevant project is essential for accurate tracking and reporting of project-related expenditures. Each subsequent step relies on this initial navigation to ensure that all data is correctly organized and categorized within the identified project framework.
