Saving and managing spend views

Prev Next

Once you have filtered out the company expenses based on the required expense data or used the data grid, you can save the desired expense view and quickly access it later on when needed.

This functionality is handy if you frequently search for expenses with a specific set of expense data, such as category, employee, or total amount.

The saved filtered views are personal and are only visible to the user who created them.

Default views for expenses

Depending on employees' roles, Spend provides the following default views for expenses and payments:

  • All employees can use the My spend default view to select only the expenses they've submitted, the Owed to you default view to monitor their submitted reimbursements, and the Spend for requests default view to list expenses that are linked to purchase orders they've submitted.    

  • In addition to My spend, Owed to me, and Spend for requests, Team managers can access the default My team spend default view to select the expenses submitted by their teams.

  • In addition to My spend, Owed to me, and Spend for requests, Payhawk Accountants and Administrators can use the All spend default view and monitor all employee expenses.

  • In addition to My spend, Owed to me, and Spend for requests, Payhawk Accountants and Administrators can use the Deleted default view to monitor deleted expenses in a read-only mode. By default, the view excludes deleted card expenses, and you can show them when needed. For more details, see the article about deleting and viewing deleted expenses.

  • The My budget expenses view applies the default Budget is not empty filter and allows users to see expenses associated with budgets. The view is available for budget owners and Payhawk Administrators:

    • Budget owners can view expenses related to their specific budgets.

    • Payhawk Administrators can access all expenses linked to any budget within the account.
