Creating an expense report
When you pay with your Expend card, we automatically create an expense report for you, with all the transaction details that we receive, such as the merchant/supplier and payment amount. All that is then left to do is to fill in any other details that are required and to attach a photo or copy of the receipt.
If you paid for multiple items from different categories or for different clients or projects in the same transaction, you can split the expense into multiple lines and specify the details for each line.
In the web app
Click My Expenses in the menu, and then find and click the expense.
Click the Complete This Expense button below the transaction details.
Select the category and tax type, and optionally provide additional details such as tracking information and a note.
To add attachments such as a copy of the receipt, click the upload area on the right and select the files (or simply drag and drop files here). You can add as many attachments as necessary.
If the transaction included items from different categories or for different clients or projects, you can split the expense into multiple lines: Click Add Split and edit the amount and other details for each line. To remove items, click the 🅧 button.
Click Save.
If your expense is ready to be reviewed, click Submit.
