Editing your expense report

  • Updated

In this article, you will learn how to edit your Workiz Expense Card transactions.

Workiz Expense Card is a one-of-a-kind, pay-in-full charge card that gives you access to a line of credit designed to support your business's day-to-day operations. With a Workiz Expense Card, you can assign cards to members of your team and even set specific limits for spend or categories. 

To learn more about signing up for a Workiz Expense Card, please see this article.

You can also issue cards to members of your team so that you can oversee and manage business-wide expenses right from Workiz. Any transaction made with a Workiz Expense Card will automatically appear in your expense report, including key details like:

  • Expense category
  • Merchant
  • Amount
  • Cardholder
  • Date

While expenses created using a Workiz Expense Card may be synced automatically to QuickBooks Online, the following expense details will not be synced:

  • Attached receipts
  • Job ID
  • Title and description

Adding expenses to job costing on web

This feature is currently only available to users who are part of the beta program.  

To join the beta, please contact support.

Linking an expense to a job doesn't automatically include it in job costing. To include the expense, you'll need to manually enable job costing for that specific expense. 

Adding an expense to job costing will include the transaction as a card expense, but it will not create a separate line item or connect to an existing line item. To avoid duplicating the expense, make sure this expense isn't already accounted for in an existing item's cost. 

  1. From the Expense report, select the transaction you want to add to job costing
  2. Check the box for Add to job costing

  3. Select Add to job to confirm
  4. Select Save expense

When added to job costing, the expense will appear in the linked job as a card transaction and will be calculated alongside item costs, labor hours, and other expenses.

Expense notifications

Whenever you make a purchase with your Workiz Expense Card, Workiz will automatically send you both an in-app and SMS notification with the option to open the mobile app to attach a receipt or link the expense to a job. A Workiz Phone plan isn’t required to receive Workiz Expense Card text messages, and these messages won’t count toward your plan limits.
