Question 8

How do I enable Corporate Labels in the app?

Accepted Answer

Streamline your reconciliation by enabling Corporate Labels in the app. This allows cardholders to attach your pre-set labels to expenses in just a tap. All labels are linked to accounting codes (which the cardholder won't see), making it easy to map expenditure to your own accounting practices, with less manual work and fewer errors.

Click to open 'CORPORATE LABELS' and identify the Label Group(s) you want to add to the app.
Use the 'SHOW IN APP' toggle to switch this Group on (you can switch it off again at any time).
