Setting up Payment Types

Payment types makes it a lot easier to keep tabs on different types of expenses and are also easy to configure and assign to users.

You have the option of assigning multiple payment types to an expense user or expense user group, from different credit cards to different types of cash payments, giving you full payment flexibility.

Expense Management also provides special icons you can assign to your payment types for easy visual reference.
