API: Unable to create users
I am trying to write a script that would synchronize the list of users on my company's Zoho account with our internal LDAP. In that purpose, I have created an access token with the scopes ZohoExpense.users.CREATE and ZohoExpense.users.READ. The script works by getting the list of users from Zoho and from the LDAP, making a diff, then sending API commands to Zoho to create the users that exist on the LDAP but not on Zoho. Such commands look like this: curl https://expense.zoho.com/api/v1/users -X
Add/Edit Tag Options via API
I’ve been experimenting with the Zoho Expense API. Mostly things are going well, but there’s something I can’t figure out and is NOT documented anywhere (I’ve googled extensively). I’m can not modify/create expense tag options via the API, nor is there any documentation. I can create/edit/delete via the website, but need help knowing how to structure the API calls to do the same (creating via the web is not a good option for us in the flow we’re envisioning). Any insights?

How to reconcile a SINGLE (shared) credit card account in which two users charges get imported into two separate Accounts?
When I setup a credit card account for download of transactions, Books treated them as separate Bank Accounts.

How do you get Expense to Sync Merchants from Zoho Books?
If we are creating expenses in zoho expenses and then syncing them to zoho books, how do we sync the merchants list? I see that in the expenses app, the customers list is syncd to books no problem. what about the merchants list (vendors?) Do we just manually create them in expenses and name them the same ?

Legal validity of photos via Zoho Expense
Good morning, A question arises with regard to the dematerialization of expense claims. A question arises with regard to the dematerialization of expense claims. Are photos taken with the Zoho Expense application legally valid? Is there a code that is assigned to each photo to verify the authenticity of the photos? Like Zoho Sign. (We are in France).

Moving receipts
I have been assigned as a delegate for my boss. He has started to put some receipts in different reports but I want to move them so that the report dates match the credit card statement I am reconciling. How do I move receipts from one report to another?
backup & clear receipt inbox
How can I backup the entire receipt inbox (other than downloading 20 or 50 at a time) and then clear it (of all reported expenses)? Thank you. Would really like to see a clean inbox if all expenses are reported (and even submitted, reimbursed). It is misleading (and demoralising) to always have a full, messy inbox containing a mix of fresh unprocessed receipts AND receipts already processed into expenses (in various stages of approval for reimbursement, archiving etc.) Processing the receipts
Project Manager from Zoho People is not reflected as Project Head in Zoho Expense
Hi there. It is awesome that Zoho has integration between People and Expense. However, I noticed that the project manager in People is not reflected as the Project Head in Expense. To make things worse, I can't set the Project Head manually in Expense as an error says I am not allowed to make any changes to the data that have been fetched directly from People. This is frustrating me to the core as the Project Head is vital in the approval flow that I have set up. Do help, ASAP!

Setting up multi-level approval
I am trying to set up multi-level approval for individual users and expenses based on the amount of expense. I can do it for reports but for individual users and expenses the system does not give me the option to do so. How can I add another level of approval for users?
Why Project sync from Zoho People is not working?
So I was having problem with my projects in my Zoho Expense and decided to delete them all and renitiate the syncing process. When I initiated the instant sync for Projects, only 5 projects are imported from People. This does not make sense as I have tens of projects in People. It baffles me what makes those 5 so special? Is this a bug or a fault on my side? please help
I want to import expenses report to ZOHO Expense - But the status doesnot update
Hi, We had earlier two accounts for ZOHO expenses for different locations, we however decided to use one account and instead create policies within the account for different regions. I have deactivated another account, but I want to import all the expenses reports to new account. It is allowing me to import but the status (approved/rejected/draft) doesn't catch while importing. We have more than 700 reports and manually updating will be time taking and labor work basically, can any one suggest
Zoho Expense Report Multilevel Approvals
Hi I have set up the Expense Report approvals. it goes from the submitter to the 1st approver. Once the 1st approver approves, then it goes to the 2nd approver. My question is: When the 1st approver is away, the approval process does not progress to 2nd approval. Can you be able to put many approvers in the 1st approver's place? If one of the 1st approvers is away, the others in the 1st approver's group can approve the expense report. Please advise as soon as possible
Change Standard Mileage Rate
Besides manually changing the standard IRS mileage reimbursement rate is there a way to change the default amount from $0.58 to $0.575? See below. IR-2019-215, December 31, 2019 WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today issued the 2020 optional standard mileage rates (PDF) used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes. Beginning on January 1, 2020, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or
Exchange rate warning
When expenses are logged in a foreign currency and automated FX rates are enabled, the user has the possibility to edit the exchange rate to match his credit card charge in his base currencies. Simple mistakes or even mis-use of the FX rate can cause a big difference in the expense amount in the base currency. With unfamiliar currencies, those mistakes are very difficult to detect for the approver. Is there a warning or policy violation flag if the inputted FX rate differs too much from the automated

Zoho Books and Zoho Expenses have no banks integrated in my country for payments/expenses etc
Its quite disheartening to see that after all the setting up of approvals etc in Zoho Expenses, I cannot find a bank to pay our clients etc. We have a transactive/interactive bank account with ANZ Bank where we currently upload the payments. I would have expected something very similar with Zoho Books and Zoho Expenses where a expense recorded through Zoho Expenses after the final approval through the system would be uploaded to the bank for processing...unfortunately there are no banks listed there.
Questions for Zoho About Corporate Cards
We have Amex small business cards. I found Expensify was one of the few expense apps able to allow us to download each card separately. All the other expense apps would download the cards together into one account, when using the main card on the account. 1. Do you know if using Direct Feeds will also give us separate downloads for card including the main card? 2. Does your "direct feed for corporate cards" feature cover Amex small business cards? Or only the corporate cards larger corporations usually

Change Taxes after Expense report was approved or reimbursed ?
Hi There, When I started the company last year, some of the taxes in Zoho books were setup incorrectly. By the end of the year, my Zoho accountant told me that some of the taxes needed to be corrected in order to reflect the proper calculation and distribution for the tax accounts to the right agency. 2 taxes that were used had a single rate instead of a tax group, thus the values aren't report correctly to the 2 agencies (Revenue Canada & Province of Quebec). I tried to correct posted expenses to

New mileage rate travel over X km keeps resetting - mileage policy
For some reason, the setting to apply a second mileage rate for users travelling more than X km keeps resetting to unchecked. One day, I check the option in our policy and the next day it's back to unchecked. What's going on?
QBO integration for Bills/Reports which contain reimbursable inclusive/exclusive taxed expenses
If a Report in Zoho Expense includes reimbursable expenses which may be both tax inclusive and tax exclusive, how do we manage this in QBO? The integration to QBO creates a Bill with all taxed items fine, but the Bill itself must either be Inclusive or Exclusive of tax as a whole. How do you manage this? (I'd hate to have to get the users to submit two different reports each time for out-of-pocket expenses. It complicates the process.)
Default tax type for mileage?
Where we are, mileage includes a government tax. Is there any way to set a default tax for the Personal Car Mileage category of expense? (Or any other way?)
Multiple stop trips?
Any way to use the app Map function to piece together multi-stop trips for mileage expenses?
Previous mileage?
I love the feature to use a separate mileage rate after X number of miles (or km where we are) but is there any way to start each user at a certain number of miles already driven in the year? We're coming into Zoho Expense late in the year and want the 2nd rate to apply when appropriate.
