Spend
Full control over spend before, during, and after it happens. Connect the entire spend lifecycle to your financial plan, from requests and purchase orders to contracts, cards, invoices, payments, and reconciliation.
Put the plan at the center of every spend decision
Spend shouldn’t only reach Finance after the fact. Datarails Spend connects the financial plan to the requests, commitments, transactions, and payments that follow, so you can see the impact against budget before spend is committed.
Know where spend stands at every stage
Before spend is committed
Raise requests against the live budget, see the financial impact before approval, route requests to the right approvers, and turn approved requests into purchase orders that create commitments against the plan.
As spend happens
Keep contracts, vendors, invoices, cards, approvals, and payments connected. AI supports repetitive work across the process, while defined controls and approval requirements keep Finance in control of decisions and payments.
After spend hits the books
Reconcile spend records against ERP entries automatically, surface discrepancies and unexpected changes, and keep actual spend connected to the same financial context as the plan.

Manage AP with the full context behind every invoice
Datarails Spend brings the purchase order, contract, vendor information, supporting files, approvals, and payment context into a dedicated AP workspace, with duplicates, mismatches, unexpected charges, and off-contract spend surfaced for review before payment.
Use AI to do the work, not make the decision
AI supports invoice extraction and coding, transaction classification, matching, exception identification, and risk detection, while agents operate with defined controls and approval requirements that keep human control over decisions and the movement of money.
Learn why finance teams choose Datarails
Datarails Spend connects the spend lifecycle, including requests, purchase orders, contracts, invoices, corporate cards, approvals, payments, and reconciliation, to the same financial foundation Finance uses for planning and reporting.
Requests are raised against the live budget and routed for approval. Approved requests can be converted into purchase orders that create commitments against the plan, giving budget owners visibility into the financial impact before approving spend. When actuals post, they return to the same financial context.
AI supports tasks throughout the spend lifecycle, including invoice extraction and coding, transaction classification, matching, exception identification, and risk detection. Agents operate with defined controls and approval requirements, allowing Finance to automate routine work while keeping human control over decisions and the movement of money.
AP requests and invoice-related work are managed through a dedicated workspace. Each request can bring together the invoice, vendor details, purchase order, contract, supporting files, and related financial context. Invoices are captured, read, coded, and checked against relevant purchase orders and contracts, with discrepancies surfaced for review.
Yes. Eligible customers can issue corporate cards with configurable limits, categories, receipt and memo requirements, and other policies by user or team. Transactions are automatically coded to the appropriate vendor, account, department, and other dimensions. Cards and payments are currently available only to customers with US entities and US bank accounts.
Datarails Spend runs on FinanceOS, the same governed financial data foundation behind planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, cash management, and close. This gives operational spend data and the financial plan a shared financial context.
