Linking the Spend Cloud Card to a Cardbook

To make expenses and account for them in the Spend Cloud, the card must be linked to a book. For information on creating a book, refer to this article. When a book is created, you can link the book directly by updating the card settings from the Spend Cloud card. Additionally, you can also link a card to a book by updating it via the menu Application management / Cash & Card / Books.
