How to Submit Corporate Card Transactions

As purchases are made using a corporate card connected to your Emburse Spend account, a feed of transactions will start to appear in the Needs Attention section of your personal Dashboard, as well as on the Transactions screen. Once they are posted, you will need to review and submit transactions. 

If you're an admin, you can add a corporate card program to Emburse Spend and skip or bulk-skip corporate card transactions if needed.

For details on the Pending Submission transaction status, see View Pending Corporate Card Transactions.

Submit Corporate Card Transactions from Your Dashboard

Emburse Spend allows you to review and submit transactions directly from your personal Dashboard. If you wish to save a transaction as a draft and submit it later, you will need to edit it from the Transactions screen. See View and Edit Pending Corporate Card Transactions for details.

1. Locate the transaction in the Needs Attention section of your personal Dashboard.

2. Emburse Spend will auto-categorize your expenses. Verify and update the suggested Business Purpose and Category as needed.
