Has anyone implemented the AMEX Suite App with NetSuite, we are looking to do this, but there seems to be 1 hiccup we found, your not able to edit the Expense Codes under the Expense Code Mapping Subtab, there are ones there we do not use, and ones that we do need are not there. Is there anyway to edit those, or will they updated after we do our first import?

The AMEX Expense Codes and descriptions are generated by the AMEX parser and generally cannot be edited from the standard mapping screen. You only need to map the codes you use; unused codes can remain unmapped. If the missing items are your NetSuite Expense Categories, create them under Setup > Accounting > Expense Categories, then refresh the AMEX Format Profile—the new categories should become available in the Expense Category dropdown. The first transaction import should not be relied upon to add or replace the AMEX code list. If AMEX is sending a code that the parser does not display, the transaction may remain Pending because it lacks an expense-category mapping; confirm the code with AMEX and open a NetSuite Support case if the standard parser does not include it...

Thank you for your response, it turns out we can not even use it, as our AMEX cards are set up as a Business Account, not Corporate Account, AMEX only support Corporate accounts.

the AMEX SuiteApp currently supports Corporate Card accounts, not Business Card accounts. In that case, you would need an alternative such as CSV import, Bank Feeds, or a third-party expense integration.

Hi Todd, saw the AMEX Business vs Corporate card limitation you ran into. Since the SuiteApp only works with Corporate accounts, one path that works reasonably well is a scheduled CSV import mapped to a transaction import map, or native Bank Feeds if your bank supports it, so you're not hand-keying expense codes. I work at a NetSuite partner and have set this up before - happy to share the mapping approach if useful.
