Changing the information required for an expense

How required fields work

Admins can configure which fields must be filled before expenses can be submitted. Expenses have 5 fields: receipts, description, accounting category, tax rate, and labels.

By default, expenses require a receipt and description before being submitted.

  • Team members with the 'Enrolled in Expenses' permission only see required fields
  • Team members with the 'View Expenses' or 'Manage Expenses' permissions see all fields on all expenses

How to change required fields

  • Go to Expenses settings
  • Select 'Required fields' to change the type of information required

Required receipts

When receipts are required, team members have a 'No receipt' toggle for missing receipts. After selecting 'No receipt', they're guided to look for secondary evidence, such as a duplicate invoice from the merchant or an online confirmation email.

To strengthen the control on missing receipts, admins can enable missing receipts declarations. Find out more in this article.
