Updated over 5 months ago

After you have defined your custom expense fields, such as projects, cost centers, or other characteristics of your expenses, you can define specific managers for each custom field value.

The manager you will define is important if you need expense approval based on these custom fields, for example, if expenses for different projects have to be approved by different project managers.
