@barbarab you are able to reassign the expense categories of Expense Types. Under Expense Admin>Expense Types, go to the Expense Categories tab. Here you can assign expense types to other categories. I've provided a screenshot as well. Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Hi Kevin,
I coudnt see Expense Catergory Tab in the login. Do we enable this tab in site settings? If can ping you theEntiry ID to you seperately.

Hi there
We resorted and reassigned the expense categories a few years ago. We removed some, retained some and made the expense type user friendly like
Accomodation overseas.
I would suggest that you proceed with caution:
Concur did the change for us - but wanted to lock out everyone whilst they updated - this was not possible for us.
Things to consider - Expense claims in flight - how will you handle them. Once you remove / change an expense type those wating approval are also
effected
Audit rules that reference an old expense type - they do not get updated automatically eg changing an expense type called
"taxi' to taxi/uber did not update the audit rule - causing further confusion
Future reporting requirements - how will the old changes fit in? eg if you have an expense type taxi - how will you add that to the new
expense type taxi/uber. What sort of records does your company require you to retain and for how long?
If you pay Concur to Audit for you - make sure you have updated any relevant Audit rules
Policies - policies are linked to expense types - you will need to make sure that you have added any new expense to the correct form and
any unwanted expense - removed from the policy and marked inactive
It is so much more than changing an expense type list. Overall - the users are happy with the change
