What is the Sources Module?

The Sources module is where you connect your spend data to SpendCraft. It's the first step in the spend classification process.

🎯 Why Sources Matter:

• Sources bring your raw spend data into SpendCraft.
• Multiple sources can be combined into datasets.
• Sources can automatically sync to keep your data up-to-date.
• Column mapping ensures consistent data structure.

Data Flow: Your data flows through SpendCraft in the below order: Source (raw data) → Column Mapping → Dataset → Classification → Analytics.
