About this task

Sometimes, Software Spend Detection can't match a transaction to a software publisher and product. If Software Spend Detection can identify the publisher but not the product, the transaction is categorized as Unnormalized in the list of products for that publisher in the Software Spend Detection dashboard. The transaction amount is added to the total cost for that publisher. If Software Spend Detection can't identify the publisher, the transaction is added to Unnormalized Transactions and is excluded from the Software Spend Detection dashboard. The transaction amount isn't included in any of the spend amounts shown on the dashboard.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Software Spend Detection > Unnormalized Transactions.
    Note: By default, this list shows only transactions identified as software by Software Spend Detection. To include transactions not identified as software, remove the filter condition Is software = true.
    Remove the Is software = true filter condition by selecting the arrow in the filter.
  2. Select a transaction date.
  3. Select values for the Publisher and Product fields.
    Note: You can create software publishers and products directly from this form by selecting the Lookup using list icon (Lookup using list icon.) next to the field and then selecting New.
  4. Clear or select the Is software check box to indicate if the transaction is a software purchase.
  5. Select Update.
    The transaction is removed from the list of unnormalized transactions and is added to the Software Spend Detection dashboard.
