# Add line item details

Last modified May 8, 2026

> Specify rows with detailed sub-lines to ensure accurate documentation.


The **Line item details** function is found in the **Spreading** pop-up window. You can use this function to specify additional details on the same dimension value (row). You can, for instance, specify a detailed list of expenses on the same account.

To add a line item detail to a row:

1. In the open budget template, click any cell in the row you want to edit.
2. Click the arrow next to **Spreading and Line item details** at the bottom of the spreadsheet. The name and row number of the selected row is displayed at the top of the **Spreading** pop-up window.
3. Click the first cell in the **Description** column under **Line item details**.
4. Enter a name for the line item detail.
5. Click **ENTER** to add another line item detail. You can enter as many line item details as you want.
6. Enter values in the cells in the rows, or use the [**Spread**](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/budgeting/budget/report/edit-budget-data/spreading/index.md) or [**Adjust**](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/budgeting/budget/report/edit-budget-data/adjusting/index.md) functions. The values in the columns are summarized on the **Main line** at the top.
7. (optional) Select a cell and enter a comment in the **Line item detail comment** field.

> [!NOTE]
> When using the *Line item details* function, the main line is locked from any further data entry. This prevents inconsistencies between the total detailed amount and the number shown in the form's cell.
