Core concepts
Payees
A payee is an individual or entity to whom you make payments. For instance, your monthly rent goes to your landlord, who is a payee, while your grocery expenses and car insurance premiums are paid to other respective payees. It's important to note that only expenses can be assigned to a payee; income transactions do not have payees.
There's no maximum limit to the number of payees you can have. By creating various payees, you can better monitor your spending and easily see how much you are paying each one.
