What are Corporate Labels and how do I set them up?
Discover insights on key topics that enhance understanding and offer practical knowledge for everyday applications.
Corporate Labels are custom to your organisation and can be anything that will assist your accounting processes. Create as many label groups as required and link each individual label to alternative values, such as accounting or tax codes, for easy mapping.
Once set up, Corporate Labels can be attached to card and cash transactions instantly, either by cardholders within the Centtrip app, or by Administrators via the expenses dashboard.
You can even specify which label groups will be visible to cardholders, allowing you to create separate codes for administrative purposes versus expense submission.

What are Corporate Labels?
Corporate Labels are custom tags created by your organisation to support and streamline your accounting processes. You can set up as many label groups as needed and link each label to additional values, such as accounting or tax codes, for effortless mapping.
Once created, Corporate Labels can be applied to card and cash transactions instantly—either by cardholders in the Centtrip app or by Administrators via the Expenses dashboard.
If you need labels and accounting codes to be automatically assigned to transactions made on specific cards within certain date ranges, use our Projects feature instead.
How do I set them up?
- Go to Labels & Projects from the left-hand menu, then select: Add label group.
- Enter a name for the first group (anything that supports your accounting processes) — e.g. Expense Type. Then, click Add.
- Select Manage labels, and press the Add corporate label button.
- Enter the name of your first label within the group (for example, under Expense Type, you might start with Travel). Then add the associated accounting or tax code.
- Click Add. Repeat this process to create remaining labels (e.g., accommodation, sustenance, client entertainment).
On the main 'Corporate label groups' page, use the Show in app toggle to decide whether cardholders can add these labels to their expenses within the app. If turned off, only administrators can add them from the Expenses page.
