Remember that the split information will only be visible in the transaction details and related reports, employees that have amounts attributed to them won’t see their part in their transaction list.

Admins or Accountants can download PDF documents, ready for spender and approver signatures. Once expenses have been approved, a report can be created for each user. You can also use the accounting platform report to see the status of each expense. Download report files in different formats in the ‘Reports’ section.
