Tags
Tags are Pleo’s version of cost allocation, allowing customers to categorize their spending.
Each expense can be labeled with up to 5 tags to classify the cost across different categories. We see use cases like projects, office locations, internal company structure, and many more.
Each tag group represents a collection of options (tags) that a user can choose from. As an example will the tag group Project contain the specific projects: Project X, Project Y etc.
A user will only see non archived tag groups.
The Tags API allows external parties to Create, Read, Update, and Delete tags.
