VRTrust fills in Ramp's accounting fields and account mapping for you. You don't need to create fields or type account IDs in Ramp.
Accounting fields
In Ramp, go to Accounting → Accounting fields. VRTrust creates these four fields automatically when you connect Ramp:
Ramp field | Comes from VRTrust | Used for |
Accounting Category | Chart of accounts | The expense account a transaction posts to |
Accounting Merchant | Vendors and owners | Who the transaction is with |
Listing | Active listings | Which property the spend belongs to |
Bill to Owner | Yes or no | Whether the owner is billed for the spend |
Don't create these yourself with Add Ramp-only field. To make coding required for employees, set it in your Ramp expense policy.
Account mapping
In Ramp, go to Accounting → Accounting settings.
Ramp tab | Ramp asks for | What to do |
Card transactions | Credit card liability account | Filled in by VRTrust: Ramp Credit Card - [entity name] |
Card transactions | Statement payments | The bank account that pays your Ramp statement |
Card transactions | Cashback account | Leave blank. Categorize cashback in VRTrust with a bank rule |
Bill Pay | Accounts payable account | None needed. VRTrust maps accounts payable automatically |
Banking | VRPlatform Checking Account | Filled in by VRTrust: Ramp Operating - Ramp Checking |
Banking | VRPlatform interest account | Leave blank. Record interest in VRTrust with a bank rule on Ramp Operating - Ramp Checking |
Banking | Linked bank accounts | Each outside bank's VRTrust cash account |
You don't set the payment accounts in Ramp. VRTrust fills them in from your VRTrust settings: the Default Payout Bank Account in your accounting assignments, and the default payout bank account chosen on each owner's profile. To change which account is used, change it in VRTrust.
