Syncing reimbursements to your integration
Overview
Accounting for reimbursements is lightning-fast with our accounting integrations. Based on your ERP, certain advanced reimbursement features may be enabled, including the following:
- Reimbursements are automatically mapped to the employee’s correct entity.
- You can use mappings, rules, and manual overrides to auto-categorize each reimbursement to a GL code or other accounting fields.
- Reimbursements are exported in their funding currency.
- Reimbursements are exported in accrual accounting where available. Xero customers will be exported on cash accounting.
- Reimbursements paid from the parent entity will generate intercompany transactions.
To help speed up cash reconciliation, we’ll provide payout reports and reimbursement statements per your payment cycle configuration.

Exporting reimbursements
Brex allows you to export reimbursements to your ERP once you’ve connected it.

Reimbursements will appear in your accounting tab in order to be synced. Once they are prepared and contain all the accounting fields required, you can export them by moving the transactions to Export. You can configure the export format depending on your connected ERP.
Export formats
