What should an expense add-on do for Unit4?
- Fill every required attribute so postings pass account rules.
- Use Unit4's import objects rather than rekeyed journals.
- Handle card spend without an employee claim.
- Keep your cards.
How should you test an add-on against Unit4?
Take a month of card statements and ask each vendor to show the attributes it would have filled. Travel tools will handle trips well; the harder lines are software, venue hire and project materials, where the project and cost centre are the whole question.
How does Vergo connect to Unit4?
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. Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen — no waiting for clearing — and once they clear, they sync into Unit4.
