Basics of Policy Groups

What Are Policy Groups?

Sections arranged under the Policy heading. Each section has a brief description and an Edit button. The sections are: Expense Approvals, Travel Allowances, Expense Compliance, Cash Advances and Policy Groups (highlighted in yellow). On the bottom right corner, there is a blue chat icon for support.

Policy groups are groups of users, where each group has a unique expense policy. For each policy group, you can set different expense types, and many times these groups might relate to different countries/regions.

As an administrator, you can use the policy groups page to create up to five policy groups for your expenses.

What Is an Example of a Policy group?

For example, a company wants its executives to have special expense limits or the sales employees to have unique expense types. To achieve this, you can create two policy groups: one for Executives with special expense limits and another for Sales with different expense types.

What Are the Benefits of Using Policy groups?

Policy groups can help you get your business expenses under control by limiting expenses for employees. Policy groups can also help you get organized by separating users into groups that have access to different expense types and spending limits.
