Features

MOBILE

View Credit Card Transactions in the Emburse Mobile Wallet

The Emburse Mobile Wallet now displays eligible corporate and connected card transactions directly in the mobile app, helping users quickly capture receipts after purchases and match expenses on the spot without switching to the desktop experience. This update also increases feature parity between the mobile app and desktop experience.

Users can filter between Receipts and Credit Card views to quickly find uploaded receipts or review card transaction activity. The transaction details screen now provides additional information for credit card transactions, and users can attach receipts to existing pre-authorized transactions from the wallet.

Near-real-time transaction visibility is supported for:

• Emburse Cards
• American Express® card programs

Transactions from other supported banks display after transaction data is received from the provider.

For complete details, see Use the Emburse Mobile Wallet.

EMBURSE ANALYTICS

Introducing Quick Edit for Existing Reports

Creator users in Analytics Pro can use Emburse’s new Quick Edit feature to make fast changes to existing reports without rebuilding them from scratch.

Quick Edit allows Creators to open an existing report and adjust the report configuration directly from the report action menu. Creators can reorder columns, remove columns, add new columns, update default filters, add additional filters, preview report results, and download the output as XLSX, CSV, or HTML.

The Quick Edit workflow uses dedicated Fields and Filters sections to simplify report adjustments and make it easier to refine report output before downloading results.

This enhancement helps Creators update and export report data more efficiently while reducing the time required to modify existing reports. For complete details, see Modify Reports with Quick Edit.

Note that Quick Edit is available only for reports at this time; Quick Edit for dashboards will be added in a future release.

Introducing the AMEX Card Program Dashboard

A new dashboard is available in Emburse Analytics to help Emburse Enterprise customers with American Express® corporate card programs understand corporate card spend and identify opportunities to maximize rebate earnings.

This dashboard provides a centralized view of your organization’s American Express card program performance, including adoption trends and out-of-pocket spend that could be shifted to corporate card usage.

Key capabilities include:

• Estimated Rebate Opportunity: Displays potential additional rebate earnings based on current out-of-pocket spend
• Convertible Spend: Identifies expense categories where employees are not using the corporate card (for example, hotel or airfare)
• Global Adoption Visibility: Shows card usage trends across regions to support compliance and program adoption

You can access the dashboard from Templates > Expense Enterprise.

Improvements

EXPENSE

Automerge Now Available for Draft Line Items

Emburse Enterprise’s Automerge functionality now applies to draft line items in addition to transactions in the eWallet.

If a transaction already exists in a draft line item and a new matching transaction is created afterward, the new transaction automatically merges into the existing draft line item. As a result, the duplicate transaction no longer appears separately in the eWallet or the Receipt Gallery.

Draft line items that contain automerged transactions display an indicator showing that the lines were merged automatically.

This improvement helps users maintain a single draft line item for each real expense, regardless of how many transaction sources contribute to the expense. Customers may also experience fewer manual merges during expense reconciliation workflows.

Users will continue to receive in-app notifications and, if subscribed, daily email reports for automerge activity. Notifications now include automerge events that occur both in the eWallet and on draft line items.

For complete details, see Merge Receipt and Credit Card Transactions.

Improved Germany 3-Month Rule Validation for Per Diem Expenses

For customers who have employees who are subject to Germany’s 3-Month Rule for per diem tax, we have improved how Enterprise Expense handles work locations for employees in Germany.

Enterprise Expense uses geographical coordinates from Google’s mapping service to identify matching work locations, and changes to those coordinates can affect how continuous work locations are recognized for 3-Month Rule evaluations.

To improve accuracy and compliance, users now see a confirmation prompt in the Per Diem wizard when an entered address matches a previously used address string but contains different geographical coordinates. The prompt asks users to confirm whether the location is the same as a prior work location.

The user’s confirmation response is stored with the expense data and remains visible to approvers after report submission for audit and review purposes. Users are prompted again only if the geographical coordinatesfor the address change in the future.

This enhancement helps ensure more accurate identification of continuous work locations and supports compliance with German tax regulations for per diem expenses.

For complete details, see Add German Per Diem Expenses to a Report.

EXPENSE

Authenticated Expense Image URLs Now Enabled by Default for the Expense API

We are improving the security of expense report images returned through the V3 Expense API. All header and line item images now use authenticated URLs by default, providing consistent protection for expense documentation across customer integrations.

Customers who were already configured to receive authenticated URLs will see no change to their existing integrations or workflows. Customers currently using the legacy image URL format have one month to validate and update their integrations before authenticated Expense Image API URLs are enabled automatically.

This update improves the overall security posture of expense image delivery while maintaining a consistent and secure experience across all expense report images returned by the API.

Who Is Affected? 

All customers consuming image URLs from the V3 Expense API. Customers already receiving authenticated URLs will see no change.

What Action Is Required? 

Customers currently using legacy image URLs should verify that their integrations correctly handle authenticated URL responses before the enhancement is enabled automatically.

Deployment Schedule

Authenticated Expense Image API URLs for customers using the legacy image URL format will be enabled automatically one month after this announcement.
