What are tags and costcentres?

Modified on Tue, 10 Dec at 3:03 PM

Within Capture Expense, you can use Tags to create your company's cost code structure. Group users and categories to apply different policies and rules. e.g. You can group users into individual teams, departments, locations or companies etc. This is useful so that Finance can analyse the costs and expenses according to your company's accounting requirements.
 
Within Tags, you can perform the following actions: 
  1. Edit a default Tag or create a new one.
  2. Export Tag record data for reporting purposes or import Tag information by bulk, depending on your needs.
  3. Add a new Value to a Tag record.
  4. Delete a Tag record.
