# Assign expenses to a trip

Once a trip has been created, you can assign expense claims to it. A claim can only be assigned to a trip if the selected category has subsistence rates enabled.

Assigning expenses to trips

1. Go to **Expenses** and select the relevant draft expense claim.
2. Click **Edit** from the right-hand action menu.
3. Select the relevant trip from the **Trip** dropdown.

1. Check all fields are complete and click **Save**.

If the claim amount exceeds the allocated rate for the trip, a warning message is displayed. Edit the claim to bring it within the limit before submitting.
