What are expense categories?
Expense categories allow you to categorise your business expenses. They are line-item expense details that correspond to your accounting systems. When adding expenses, employees will have to choose from a set of categories to map their expenses. We have a default set of categories available for every user which can be updated by the company admin if needed.
How do I add a new category?
Adding a new category is simple, follow these steps:
Click Sign in on the WegoPro homepage and select your company (You can directly sign in using your company's WegoPro URL as well).
Go to Company settings and select Categories
Click Add category and add your category name along with the optional account code
Click Save and you're done ✨
What is account code?
Account code is a unique reference code that can be assigned to each category to align them with your accounting system. You can add an account code to any of the expense categories by following these steps:
Click Sign in on the WegoPro homepage and select your company (You can directly sign in using your company's WegoPro URL as well).
Go to Company settings and select Categories
Click on any of the existing category and assign the Account code
That's it - we will export the account code along with the other expense data which can be easily mapped to your accounting system ✨
