Audience: Neo1 Admins


Purpose


Creating/managing a spend rule will allow you to define conditions based on amount, specific expense category or both. You can also set the people group for which the rule is applicable. The following spend rule outcomes can be set to customize the experience for expense submissions that align with that amount or expense category:


  • Flag spend as out of policy
  • Require proof of expense (receipt)
  • Require recipient information 


Examples:


  1. A rule that requires receipts for all expenses over $50
  2. A rule that requires all airfare over $1000 to be flagged as out of policy
  3. A rule that requires all business meals for general employees to require recipient information 



Neo1 comes with default spend rules. You can add/delete or edit the default values. 



Tip: When setting hotel spend rule, note that this is for the total booking and not a per night limit.
