Spend Metadata

The Spend Metadata options provide opportunity for users to log ancillary information about a spend entry. Specifically, the following fields are available:

• Description: A free text field for users to enter a description of the spend entry.
• External Ref: A free text field for users to enter an external reference for the spend entry.
• Comment: A free text field for users to enter comments about the spend entry.

How each field is utilised is a matter of user preference. For example, the Description field could be used to enter a description of the spend entry, while the External Ref field could be used to enter a reference number from an external system. The Comment field could be used to enter any additional comments or notes about the spend entry.

None of the above metadata fields are mandatory, and can be overwritten as blank (by the user) if required at a future date.
