alcohol expense tracking

[davidj]

We are going to start tracking alcohol spend in Concur, for us to effectively extract a report from Concur, should we create a separate stand alone expense type for alcohol or have it recorded as an itemized expense within other existing expense where we think alcohol maybe included e.g. :  Meal expense, Business Meals with Attendees, Committee Meetings...

@davidj this is just my opinion, but I would have it be an itemization expense type since I highly doubt employees are going to go out and buy a single bottle of wine or some other spirit and try to expense just alcohol. Most likely alcohol will be part of a meal. 

Maybe others have ideas. 🙂

Alcohol is an expense type for us. We have a Pcard integrated and individuals can pay for invoices with their pcard, so we do see just alcohol purchased.

Hi Erica,

we currently don't make use of a P-card.  We only have the corporate travel card. we see alcohol expenses typically on meal receipts.  

appreciate your input!
