Overview

Payment made by a business at the time of purchase (ex. a credit card payment).

The Expenses Data Model represents a payment made by a business at the time of purchase. This unified model streamlines the management and retrieval of expense-related information across various accounting platforms.

• Unified expense properties: Essential expense information, including document numbers, posted dates, payment modes, and currency details, are standardized across different accounting platforms
• Contact and account relationships: Expenses can be easily linked to specific contacts and accounts using their respective platform IDs, allowing for efficient organisation and reporting
• Line item support: The inclusion of line items within the expense data model enables more granular and detailed expense management, as well as the ability to track individual components of an expense
• Currency conversion: The currency_rate property supports multi-currency scenarios by providing the conversion rate between the expense currency and the base currency, ensuring accurate financial reporting across various currencies
