Corporate cards

Lesson 102 of 153 · 1 min

The card issuer sends a transaction feed. Transactions land in the employee's expense workspace. The employee categorises them and submits. Company-pay versus individual-pay is the design decision in card programmes, and the difference between them is an accounting difference rather than a policy one. Then matching card transactions to receipts, which is where most of the employee's effort actually goes. Then the integration reality, which nobody puts in a sales deck: each card provider's file format differs, feeds break, and reconciliation of the card liability account is a monthly job. Set that expectation before go-live rather than after the first month it is missed. And the one that goes wrong six months in: unsubmitted card transactions sit in limbo and nobody owns them. Recommend an aging report and a named owner. It is a control problem rather than a technical one, which is exactly why no configuration screen will prompt
