No, you don’t need to create separate accounts payable entries in QuickBooks or Xero for each Venn Mastercard. Venn Mastercards are issued under your legal business entity, and the financial action of completing a card purchase with a Venn Mastercard is naturally treated as only a business expense entry to an Expense account.
However, if your setup requires tracking expenses by individual employees or specific cards, your bookkeeper may choose to create accounts payable entries for each cardholder. This helps identify who made each purchase, but it does involve an extra step: matching each Venn Mastercard transaction to the correct account before syncing it to QuickBooks or Xero.
Even with this setup, syncing Venn Mastercard transactions directly to QuickBooks or Xero still simplifies your workflow. From Venn "Transactions", you can easily export all card purchase related transactions into a .csv file and identify which cardholder had made the purchase. From Venn "Accounting", once you’ve matched the transaction to the correct account, you can easily export it with the appropriate accounts payable category already applied.
