Purpose

Creating a spend policy will allow you to define a spend limit for a specific expense type. When a spend policy is set, expense submissions containing that expense type will then be effectively labeled as out of policy anytime a submission exceeds the established threshold. 


For instance, if an airfare policy is set at $1000, and a user submits an airfare expense for approval that is $1,500, that submission will be marked as "out of policy". This will be visible to the employee and assigned supervisor tasked with approval of that submission. 


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