Emburse Spend Release Notes - July 2026

This release introduces usability improvements to the mobile app and resolves multiple issues affecting expense workflows, policy configuration, and mobile functionality.

Highlights

• New Mobile App Versions Available: Emburse Spend is now available on iOS 1.25.6 and Android 2.9.6, including usability improvements and bug fixes.
• Emburse Cards Cardholder Terms and Conditions Requirement: Virtual cardholders must now accept the Emburse Cards Terms and Conditions before a card is activated.
• Streamlined Denied Expense Resubmission: Users can now replace receipts directly when resubmitting a denied expense, eliminating extra navigation steps.

Features

CARDS

Emburse Cards Cardholder Terms and Conditions Acceptance

Emburse Cards now requires all virtual cardholders to accept Terms and Conditions before a card can be activated. After a card is assigned or a card request is approved, the cardholder is prompted to review and accept the required terms. Once accepted, the card activates automatically. This applies to all Emburse Spend virtual card users. See Activate a Virtual Card for details.

Improvements

EXPENSE

Replace or Remove Receipts During Denied Expense Resubmission

When editing a denied expense for resubmission, users can now remove the existing receipt and upload a replacement receipt in the same step. Previously, users had to resubmit with the original receipt, then navigate to the Submitted section to remove and replace it. This improvement applies to both denied transactions and denied reimbursements on web and mobile.

MOBILE

Clear Action for Expense Detail Section

A "None" option is now available in the Expense detail section, allowing users to clear a previously selected value without having to navigate away or reset the entire form.

Bug Fixes

EXPENSE

Denied Expenses Can Now Be Resubmitted When a Time Limit Policy Rule Is Active

Employees and administrators were unable to resubmit previously denied expenses when a time-based submission policy rule was configured to warn. The platform incorrectly blocked resubmission entirely. Affected users can now resubmit denied expenses and provide a justification note as expected.

Bulk Expense Submission No Longer Fails with False Policy Violations

When submitting multiple expenses in bulk, a validation warning incorrectly flagged compliant expenses as containing errors or policy violations. The same expenses submitted individually passed without issue. Bulk submission now completes correctly for expenses that have no actual violations.

Delegates Can Now Split and Itemize Card Transactions

Users with delegate permissions were unable to split or itemize card transactions on behalf of another user. Delegates can now split and itemize card transactions as expected.

Admin Edits to Expense Fields Now Save Correctly

When a non-final approval administrator edited an expense field or team field, the selected value was cleared from the view as soon as they selected Edit, and the change was not saved. Expense field edits made by administrators are now retained correctly on the first save.

Mileage Expense Amounts No Longer Revert After Saving

When an administrator manually edited the dollar amount on a mileage expense without changing the distance or rate, the updated amount appeared to save on the first attempt but reverted to the original amount on the second save. Mileage expense amount edits now persist correctly.
