If your organisation uses advances and corporate credit cards, you will have the corresponding options under payment mode, and you can also choose to Fyle reimbursable expenses under a Personal Account payment mode

Export capability of corporate credit card expense data

As an administrator, it is imperative you have real time access to the expenses Fyled against assigned corporate credit card expenses. A major step in this direction is allowing administrators to download a report of matched and unmatched corporate credit card expense data. This report also provides a host of other allied data that helps you pin-point areas that need attention.

To export the file, follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Navigate to Corporate Cards
2. Click on Manage Cards
3. Select the cards from the list
4. Click on Export and choose the required format

Matching assigned corporate credit card transactions with expenses that have been split

Last month, we introduced the capability to split expenses into multiple categories, projects, and cost-centres. This release allows users to match every component of an expense that has been split with the corresponding corporate credit card transaction. And yes, it's as easy as it can get!

Other interesting updates:

Policies on advance requests

Fyle now supports designing custom policies around advance requests. You will be able to limit the advance amount, allow a set of currencies, and specify other conditions as per your business requirements. An example below illustrates a policy on advance requests that limits the advance amount that can be requested in a particular currency

Users will now be able to select a project that is relevant to the trip they are seeking approval for.

Administrators will also be able to add custom trip request fields to capture information specific to your organisation. You will find the option to do so under Settings where Trip Request Custom Fields is listed.

Audit trail for creating and editing expense in a delegated account

When a delegatee creates an expense or modifies an expense, the action is captured and recorded in the audit trail. This ensures greater visibility and control of delegated accounts.

Bulk upload bug quashing:

We were also able to identify and tighten a few loose ends around the bulk upload function. You should not be hitting any unexpected surprises here anymore!
