Before you start setting up the platform for spend management, you need to know the following:

  1. How your business financially accounts for expenses, i.e. what financial codes (General Ledger and Tax) need to be assigned to expenses so that they appear in your company accounts accurately
  2. What card program is currently in place within your organization 
  3. Basic details of the people you want to give access to the service, enabling them to submit and approve expenses
