- Click Customers.
- Review your synced customers.
- Activate or deactivate customers as needed.
2. Customer Settings
- Enable or Disable Customer Selection for Employees:
- Enabled: Employees can select a customer and mark an expense as billable in the expense form.
- Disabled: Only accountants can select customers, which can still be done in the Accounting tab.
3. Debit Account Types
This section enables you to select which Debit Account Types will be synced from your ERP or accounting software (NetSuite, Quickbooks, etc.) to Hyper. You may select the following types of debit accounts:
- Operating Expense
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
- Fixed Asset

4. Credit GL Account
Credit GL accounts are required for corporate cards and reimbursements. These act as your default credit-side accounts for expense entries.

- Select the desired default GL account for each.
These accounts must be set before your organization starts using Hyper. You can change them on a per-expense basis in the Accounting tab.
