FAQ: Auto-Categorization of Expenses

Our self-learning program in Abacus is designed to keep track of all the changes made to merchant names and expense categories when you submit expenses. 

Automatic Categorization

Over time, Emburse Spend automatically categorizes expenses based on merchant codes before they are submitted. This means you don't have to manually categorize each expense, saving you time and reducing the chance of errors. 

Continuous Improvement

The more edits you make to expenses, the smarter Abacus becomes. It learns from your actions, allowing it to recognize different combinations of merchants and vendors more accurately. This means that as you use Abacus more, it becomes better at categorizing your expenses correctly.

Manual Edits

We understand that sometimes expenses may not fit the automatic categorization perfectly. That's why we provide you with the flexibility to make adjustments as needed.

While Abacus is great at categorizing expenses, you can still manually edit and adjust the category if it differs from what Abacus initially matches with the merchant. This ensures that you have complete control over your expense categorization.
