Using Merge Items in the Wallet

Using Merge Items in the Wallet

Merge Items gives you the choice to view Receipts and Expenses combined in your Wallet.

This is helpful if you have imported credit card expenses enabled for your account. Using Merge Items, you can add a merged receipt and expense line to a draft expense report without having to manually combine them.

This article shows you how to use the Merge Items feature in your Wallet.

  1. On your account homepage, under My Wallet, select More Items.

    My with Emburse Professional selected.

  2. In your Wallet, locate Merge Items in the upper right-hand corner. When Merge Items is OFF, the Merge Items feature is gray, and Receipt images are separated from Expenses and display in different sections.

    When reviewing receipts, you may find it easier to keep Merge Items OFF. Receipts and imported credit card expenses then appear separately instead of combined.

With Merge Items ON, when an imported credit card expense in your Wallet matches a receipt, they are visually combined onto one line. 

Items will only merge if the Date and Amount of the receipt match the Date and Amount of the credit card expense.

Merge Items for Amount.

With Merge Items ON, you can easily add the merged receipt and expense line to a draft expense report by marking the checkbox and clicking Add to Report. Both the receipt and the expense line are added to the expense report as a single line item, without having to manually combine them.

If your organization uses Hotel Folio, existing receipt and card merge rules run before a Hotel Folio split. See Hotel Folio for details.
