Viewpoint Spectrum AP and expense capabilities at a glance
| Capability | In Viewpoint Spectrum? | What the documentation shows |
|---|---|---|
| Bank feeds | Partly | Cash Management's Bank Reconciliation Entry can import a cleared-checks file from the bank to mark checks cleared, but Trimble states you cannot import bank transactions, and deposits are reconciled manually. However, there is no live bank feed. |
| Credit card feeds | Partly | Card purchases are recorded in AP (Manual Credit Card Payment Entry, credit card flag and card number on POs; needs the Cash Management module). However, no card feed or card statement import is documented. |
| AP automation (invoice capture and processing) | Yes | Automatic Invoicing, which requires a Trimble Construction One subscription, takes PDF invoices by batch upload or an AP email Inbox forwarded from a shared mailbox. |
| Receipt capture and mobile expenses | Partly | Traqspera mobile, part of the separate HR Management for Spectrum product, lets employees enter job expenses on a timesheet and attach a receipt photo. However, no receipt OCR is documented, and expense entries reach Spectrum by CSV export and the Spectrum Data Exchange Excel template. |
| Expense claim approvals | Partly | In Traqspera (the separate HR Management for Spectrum product), expenses entered on a timesheet are submitted for reimbursement and can be edited until the timesheet is approved, then exported to Spectrum. However, Spectrum core has no documented employee expense report module. |
| Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments) | Yes | AP Invoice Approval Routing codes (Accounts Payable > Maintenance) define sequential reviewers, a confirmer, optional approval limits and email notification, and are assigned to vendors. |

Where Vergo fits with Viewpoint Spectrum
Vergo integrates with Viewpoint Spectrum and posts coded entries into it. 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 job, phase and cost type, 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. 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.
