What does Unit4 include for expenses?

• Travel Expenses: employee claims with automated approval workflow.
• Rules: travel allowance and per diem rules, cash advances, multiple currencies.
• Reimbursement through Accounts Payable or Payroll.
• Mobile: the Unit4 Employee Expenses app.
• Coding: GL analysis on expense lines follows account rules.

How does card spend fit?

Travel Expenses is built around the employee who claims, and it does that job well, from per diem rules to cash advances. Company card charges arrive on a statement, and Unit4's Statement Processing module handles bank statements, not card transaction feeds. Card spend is then entered as claims or journals, with someone supplying the attributes.

Where does that leave work for finance?

• Card statements turned into claims or journals by hand.
• Attribute lookups for projects and cost centres.
• Receipt chasing for charges no one has claimed.
• Rejected postings when a required attribute is missing.

When is a separate tool worth it?

When company cards, not personal claims, carry most of the spend. 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. Vergo connects directly through Unit4's public API and delivers coded spend as imported expenses or financial transactions, with every attribute your account rules require.

How Vergo works alongside Unit4

Unit4 stays your ERP and Travel Expenses can stay for per diems. Employees handle everything by text message — no app to download, no portal login — and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Card spend, employee reimbursements and AP invoices run through one coding model — same coding, same review, one reconciliation — and payment stays on the rails you already use.
