If a category is disabled in the accounting system, it will be removed from the workspace’s categories list in the workspace. However, the disabled category will remain on approved and drafted expense reports that it has been previously added to. An admin can change the category on an approved or reimbursed expense, and anyone can change the category on an unapproved expense.

**How can my employees see the GL codes on categories?**

GL codes added in the GL section of individual category settings are not visible to employees. If your employees need to see the GL code associated with a category, the category name would need to be edited to include it.

In Expensify, tags refer to **classes, projects, cost centers, locations, customers, jobs**, and other line-item details that help code expenses for accounting and financial reporting.

An admin can manually create tags for a workspace, or they will be automatically imported if your workspace is connected to an accounting system, like QuickBooks Online or Xero. These imported tags can be enabled or disabled to use as tags for expenses added to Expensify. Additionally, Expensify will learn how you apply tags to specific merchants over time and apply them automatically.
