Rail Transactions report

The Rail Transactions report provides detailed metrics on all rail bookings at the transaction level. This includes many relevant financial and accounting details (e.g., taxes, fees, credit card used) as well as other useful data such as locations, times, and vendors. You can use this report to derive insights about your spend across rail bookings and conduct reconciliation.
