The Rho application allows you to create departments to help you manage your organization's expenses. For example, let's say you wanted to set up a budget of $100,000 for your Sales department. In Rho, you can create a department called Sales and specify the Department Amount as $100,000. Once the department is created, you can ensure that every time you spend money on this department, it is taken out of the appropriate reporting department. Then, from the Department Reporting page, you can view all of the Sales expenditures for the month, quarter, and fiscal year. Once a department is created, you can: Assign a Rho Card to that department so that all transactions using that card are reflected in the department. Associate existing transactions to a department to ensure correct management of your finances. Specify the appropriate department for a financial transfer. Additionally, you can assign specific users to a specific department. Which team members can see these departments? Any employee you add. To add a team member to a Department in order to give them the ability to tag their transactions to that Department, you can follow these easy steps! The amount of cash in my Rho account changed. Do these departments need to be fully funded? No. Creating a department is just like creating a spending budget. For example, you can set a department spending budget of $25,000. That amount will be the budget, whether the account has a $10,000 or $100,000 balance. However, unlike a card limit, you can go over a Department budget. As noted earlier, these are soft limits , just for tracking, not meant to inhibit spending. The Departments Tab Active departments are displayed in tabular format.
