Expend offers the ability to export your company members’ transactions and expenses to CSV files. Some are provided in formats that can be imported directly into supported accounting systems (such as Crunch, Xero, QuickBooks, Clear Books, and FreeAgent). You can also open the exported CSV files in common spreadsheet applications (such as Excel or Numbers) and edit them to suit your needs before importing them to your system. If you use another platform that supports CSV imports (such as Sage) this is a way to get your Expend data into your system.
Statement
The statement lists all Expend card transactions within the specified period. Statements are available in different formats, some of which can be directly imported into supported accounting systems.
The Default format, described below, contains the most detail. If your company uses an accounting system not yet listed, you can choose this format, and then import the CSV file into a spreadsheet application and edit it to suit your needs.
Fields
transaction Id Expend's transaction identifier.
user User that performed the transaction.
date Date that the transaction was completed (cleared, i.e. merchant took the money). May differ from date user performed transaction.

Add Funds (to float account)
Card Transaction (i.e. purchase/payment using Expend card)

Expenses
You can export records of all your expenses for a specified period to a CSV file, and optionally export all attachments as well. Each expense line or mileage claim leg has a separate record, so a single expense report/claim or mileage claim could comprise multiple records.
Note about attachments: Each record is appended with URL links to the documents attached to the expense (such as photos of receipts). If an expense record has more than one attachment, they are separated by commas. This means that each will appear in a separate column when imported into a spreadsheet application. The files listed are the same for each line/leg if an expense/claim comprises multiple lines/legs.
