Importing Expenses to a Certify Wallet

In the example below, an expense for $100 will be sent to tav.acc.test@gmail.com’s wallet using just the Email, Amount, Currency, Date, Posting Date, Transaction ID, Reimbursable, Vendor, and Location fields. The user can then add this expense to an expense report.

Importing Expenses to an Expense Report

To move expenses directly to an expense report, simply populate the Report Name, Start Date, and End Date fields, along with the previously listed fields. This creates an expense report with the given name and dates if one does not already exist. If a matching expense report exists, the expenses are sent to that report instead of the user’s wallet. 

In the below example, the two listed expenses will be moved to an expense report called ‘Testing Import Expenses’:
