    With Expensify's robust features and NetSuite's business management solutions, organizing and analyzing company expenses is easier than ever.

  • Expensify can import various fields from NetSuite to code expenses, including:

    • Expense Categories

    • Tags (comprising Customers, Projects, Departments, Classes, and Locations)

    • Report Fields

    • Employee Defaults

    • Tax Groups

    • Custom Segments

    • Custom Records

    • Custom Lists

    The integration ensures accurate and automatic categorization of expenses, drawing from NetSuite's comprehensive field setup. Plus, customizable settings in Expensify further allow you to tailor your fields to fit your preferences.

  • No, Expensify is not an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system for NetSuite. They are separate systems that can integrate with each other:

    • Expensify is a travel and expense management platform that helps businesses track and manage employee expenses, receipts, and reimbursements.

    • NetSuite is a comprehensive ERP system that handles various business operations like accounting, inventory, CRM, and more.

    While Expensify can integrate with NetSuite to sync expense data and streamline financial processes, it functions as a specialized expense management tool rather than an ERP system. The integration allows expense reports and data from Expensify to flow into NetSuite's accounting and financial modules.

  • Both NetSuite and Xero are cloud-based accounting platforms, but they serve different types of businesses. Xero is designed for small businesses, while NetSuite is an ERP system built for growing midsize and enterprise companies with more complex financial and operational needs.

  • To sync vendors between Expensify and NetSuite, start by importing your vendor list from NetSuite into Expensify. Then, enable vendor mapping during the export setup so Expensify can auto-match merchants to existing vendors in NetSuite. This helps ensure accurate vendor reporting and spend visibility.

  • In Expensify, configure your export settings to route non-reimbursable expenses (such as corporate card transactions) to export as credit card charges, vendor bills, or journal entries in NetSuite. You’ll also want to check that your GL accounts and transaction forms are properly mapped to support these expense types.
