# Understand spending categories

> How LiftAI groups costs into maintenance, repair, and emergency service.

Every invoice and proposal in **Spending** carries a **Type**, which tells you what kind of work the cost is for. Use the Type to tell routine maintenance apart from one-off repairs and emergency call-outs when you scan or filter the table.

<Note>
  Spending is available to **consultants**, and to **client** users when the `clientPortalSpending` flag is enabled for the account.
</Note>

## The spending types

The **Type** column groups each item into one of these categories:

| Type              | What it covers                                                                            |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Maintenance**   | Routine, recurring upkeep under the service contract.                                     |
| **Repair**        | One-off fixes outside routine maintenance.                                                |
| **Callback**      | A response to a fault or call-out (the closest equivalent to an emergency service visit). |
| **Inspection**    | Required inspections and testing.                                                         |
| **Modernization** | Larger upgrade or modernization work.                                                     |

## Filter by type

Use the **Type** filter on the Spending table to narrow the list to one or more categories — for example, to review only Repair and Callback charges.

<Tip>
  Type tells you *what kind* of work was billed; the **Status** column tells you where the item is in review (Pending, Pending Data, Approved, Partial Approval, Rejected). Combine the two filters to focus, for example, on Repair items still **Pending**.
