Tryton AP and expense capabilities at a glance
| Capability | In Tryton? | What the documentation shows |
|---|---|---|
| Bank feeds | Partly | Bank data is file-based. However, no live bank-feed module is in the upstream module list. |
| Credit card feeds | Partly | There is no card-specific feed or issuer loader upstream. |
| AP automation (invoice capture and processing) | Partly | Document Incoming modules create supplier invoices from incoming documents, including by email. However, no multi-step supplier-invoice approval engine is documented. |
| Receipt capture and mobile expenses | No | Based on a review of the upstream module list, there is no expense or receipt-capture module and no mobile expense app. |
| Expense claim approvals | No | No official upstream expense-reimbursement module exists, per the Tryton forum and the module list. |
| Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments) | Partly | The Purchase Requisition module lets employees raise requisitions that an Approval group approves or rejects before purchase requests are created. However, no configurable multi-level approval engine for supplier invoices or expenses is documented. |

Where Vergo fits with Tryton
Vergo integrates with Tryton and posts coded card spend into it; for Tryton, 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 account and analytic axes, 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 or by amount — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.
