FAQ
Ramp Budgets tracks plan vs. actuals in real time across all your Ramp spend—cards, reimbursements, Bill Pay, and committed POs. You can nest budgets up to five layers deep, map them to any ERP field (department, project, GL account), and build approval flows that automatically check budget context before approving spend.
Budgets is available on Plus and Enterprise plans.
Plus customers can get started in minutes: Navigate to Manage Spend > Budgets, build your structure, upload your budget, map line items. See the complete guide and video walkthrough.
Every Ramp spend type is mapped to Budgets in real time: Cards, Reimbursements, Bill Pay, and Procurement—including committed PO spend.
Any field already in Ramp—whether it's from your ERP (department, entity, GL account, project). You can also build roll up fields for custom reporting.
Budgets are built for tracking plan vs. actuals, not hard enforcement. For limits, use card controls, approval workflows, or Funds. You can also turn on budget-aware approvals—so your team sees budget status and gets flagged before spending pushes a line over budget.
Budgets is ideal for teams who want real-time spend visibility, budget context in approvals, and delegated control. Especially powerful if you're using the full Ramp platform or managing multiple entities.
