Viewpoint Vista AP and expense capabilities at a glance
| Capability | In Viewpoint Vista? | What the documentation shows |
|---|---|---|
| Bank feeds | Partly | Cash Management clears entries by importing a text file of cleared transactions from the bank, through the Imports module (CMIMPORTCLEAR template). However, the Vista help we reviewed documents no live bank feed. |
| Credit card feeds | Partly | In Viewpoint HR Management for Vista (Expenses), an Expense Admin imports credit card transactions from a CSV template (date, employee number, last four digits, vendor, AP company). |
| AP automation (invoice capture and processing) | Partly | Vista has native unapproved invoice entry with reviewer approval. |
| Receipt capture and mobile expenses | Partly | Through the Viewpoint HR Management for Vista employee portal, users can create expense receipts on mobile, and Auto Expense uses AI OCR to read date, vendor, amount and description from the receipt image. |
| Expense claim approvals | Partly | In HR Management for Vista, users create, code and submit expense receipts. |
| Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments) | Yes | Vista Headquarters reviewers and reviewer groups drive approval workflows in Accounts Payable (unapproved invoices), Purchase Order (requisitions and quotes) and Payroll (timesheets). |

Where Vergo fits with Viewpoint Vista
Vergo integrates with Viewpoint Vista 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.
