2. Select Accounting.
3. On the Rillet connection, select Import, Export, or Advanced.

How to configure Rillet import settings

Import settings control which accounting data is imported from Rillet into Expensify.

On the Rillet integration, choose Import to configure:

• Chart of accounts – Imports active Expense, Current Asset, and Fixed Asset accounts as Categories. This setting is always enabled.
• Enable newly imported accounts – Choose whether newly imported accounts arrive as enabled or disabled categories. This defaults to off, so new accounts import as disabled categories.
• Dimensions – Choose which Rillet dimensions to import as tags. Each available dimension (such as Departments, Projects, or Classes) can be enabled independently.
• Tax rates – Import tax rates from Rillet. This option only appears when tax rates are available for the selected subsidiary.

How to configure Rillet export settings

Export settings determine how Expensify sends data to Rillet.

On the Rillet integration, choose Export and configure:

• Preferred exporter – Assign the Workspace Admin to automatically receive reports to export.

• Company card account – Select the Rillet credit card account used for company card expenses.

Advanced settings control sync frequency, reimbursement, and settlement automation.

On the Rillet integration, choose Advanced to configure:

• Auto-sync – Automatically sync Expensify and Rillet every day and export reports automatically using your selected export method.
• Export method – Choose when reports are exported automatically. This option is only available when auto-sync is enabled.
  • Accrual exports reimbursable expenses after final approval.

How to export company card expenses to multiple Rillet accounts

If your organization uses multiple company card liability accounts, you can export different card programs or individual cards to different Rillet accounts.

On the Rillet integration, choose Export and enable Configure exporting to multiple accounts. Then configure:

• Card program account – Assign a default Rillet account for each company card program.
• Per-card account – Override the program account for individual cards when needed.

When this toggle is off, company card expenses export to the single Company card account selected in the export settings.

FAQ

Which Rillet accounts import as Categories?

Only active expense, current asset, and fixed asset accounts from your Rillet chart of accounts import as Categories.

Why did my report fail to export to Rillet?

Reimbursable expenses export as vendor bills matched to the report submitter’s email. If no Rillet vendor matches that email, the export fails. Make sure each report submitter exists as a vendor in Rillet.

Do I need a bill payment or settlements account?

A bill payment account is required only when Sync reimbursed reports is enabled, and a settlements account is required only when Sync Expensify Card settlements is enabled.
