Payment Methods

Payment methods define how a transaction was paid and whether it can enter the reimbursement process.

Funding sources

Select one funding source when creating a payment method:

  • Employee-funded: paid by the employee and eligible for disbursement.
  • Company-funded: paid directly by the company.
  • Non-reimbursable: not processed as a reimbursement.
  • Unconfigured: a temporary choice until the funding source is determined.

The funding source directly affects disbursement eligibility.

Create a payment method

  1. Open Expense Setup > Payment Methods.
  2. Select New Method.
  3. Enter the method name.
  4. Add a description if needed.
  5. Select the funding source.
  6. Set the status.
  7. Select Save Changes.

Examples include Cash, Bank Transfer, Corporate Card, Personal Card, and E-Wallet.

Update a payment method

  1. Find the method in the list.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Update the name, description, funding source, or status.
  4. Save the changes.

Before changing a widely used funding source, review its effect on disbursement eligibility.

Archive a payment method

Archive a method that should no longer be available for new transactions. Existing expense history retains the payment method originally selected.
