Deltek Ajera AP and expense capabilities at a glance

CapabilityIn Deltek Ajera?What the documentation shows
Bank feedsYesAjera has an automatic bank feed that links a bank account, imports cleared transactions nightly and matches them to Ajera payment and deposit entries; Deltek says it is available to all Ajera users.
Credit card feedsYesAjera has a dedicated credit card import: transactions downloaded from the card issuer are imported by file (not a live feed) and can be pulled onto expense reports or into the bank register, including other employees' cards subject to role permissions.
AP automation (invoice capture and processing)PartlyAjera has native Vendor Invoice Approvals (project manager and finance approvers, rules by approval type, vendor type and amount, invoices held until approved).
Receipt capture and mobile expensesYesThe Ajera Time & Expense mobile app captures receipts, and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) reads receipts to populate expense reports.
Expense claim approvalsYesNative expense reports with supervisor and accounting approval; approved reports create a vendor invoice to the employee for reimbursable lines and bank entries for credit card lines, coded to project and phase.
Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments)YesApprovals exist for expense reports, vendor invoices (threshold-based PM/finance approval with a super-approver role) and purchase orders (approval security group); purchase order approval is not available in the ajeraCore tier.

Where Vergo fits with Deltek Ajera

Vergo integrates with Deltek Ajera and posts coded card spend into it; for Deltek Ajera, the live integration covers expense management. It works with any card from any bank — connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Vergo proposes the coding by inference from your own accounting structure and history — no rule library to build, no keyword lists to maintain, and new vendors are coded on first sight. The proposal covers the project, phase and expense item, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account, by amount, or by project — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.
