Purpose

Use the below as a general guide for how to manually create and submit company card transactions. Keep in mind, each company set-up varies. If needed, check with your company Admin to understand how your company is configured.



Tip: Refer to this guide if your Company has connected a corporate card program 
and receives a daily file feed of all transactions. 




Step 1: Log into Neo1 (app.neo1.com)

Step 2: Select Spend (from the left menu bar) or, choose Justify from the Dashboard timeline


The homepage dashboard will display the total count of transactions sitting in your justify queue, ready to be reconciled and submitted to your Supervisor for review/ approval. 




Step 3: Your Spend or, 'Justify' queue will list all transactions ready to be reconciled - You've spent the money, now you will justify why. 


Step 4: This queue will display all transactions that were manually entered by you. Transactions are displayed in date order. Use this screen to mirror or, match against your card statement. Have you manually entered all transactions as they appear on your card statement? 





Step 5: Select the blue plus to create a new transaction. 


Step 6: Choose the type of transaction you are creating

  • Are you creating an out of pocket expense? (paid for via your personal card/cash). 
  • Or, are you manually entering a transaction (incurred on your business card)?




 A new window will appear.  We call this the 'Monster screen' where we've merged three views together onto one screen.  

  1. On the left, a list of all unfiled transactions
  2. In the middle, the details for a transaction (where you will complete the reconciliation) 
  3. On the right, the receipt for that transaction



Step 7: Next, attach the receipt - upload from your computer or select a receipt you've captured from your Neo1 mobile app



Tip: Upload a receipt as your first step - Neo1 has OCR (optical character recognition),
and will auto populate details from the receipt (date, amount, merchant, etc). 


The receipt is a mandated field and requires a selection from one of 4 options

  • An expense cannot be submitted without one of these options being selected. 
  • Check with your Company policy for lost receipts or if they require the physical receipts to be sent to accounting.




Step 8: To reconcile, complete the fields in the middle screen:

  • Select the Group for the transactions (if relevant - refer to this article on how to use groups)
  • Select the Budget (if relevant - refer to this article on how to create and manage budgets)
  • Select the Expense Type
  • Complete all remaining fields - each company configuration will vary (examples of remaining fields might be: department, project name, Client name, if the transaction is billable etc.)    


Step 9: Finally, save and submit the transaction.


A few items to note...

  • Submitted transactions auto route to your Supervisor for review and approval.
  • There is no concept of an 'expense report' in Neo1.  Transactions should be reviewed and submitted one-by-one or by selecting all and choosing bulk submit (similar to downloading and reconciling your card statement prior to the statement close period).  
  • Check with your company - how often do they want transactions submitted to Supervisors? Daily? weekly? monthly? etc.


Keeping track of your expenses


See where your transactions are at in any stage of the process, via the home page dashboard (spend timeline view). 


Or, at the top menu bar within the spend queue screen


Once a transaction is fully processed in Neo1, it will be extracted and no longer appear in the spend timeline view.


Extracted transactions can be pulled into a spend report. 


Transactions still sitting at any stage of the spend timeline (Justify, Approve, Review & Process) will only be available in the 'live spend' report.
