Spend Alerts is a feature that allows you to monitor spending activity for purchases made online from Marketplace Preview. You create your own Spend Alerts for notification of expenditures made by anyone, using the following criteria:

• Type of item purchased
• Dollar amount spent
• A single index
• All indexes with a particular prefix
• All indexes with a particular prefix tied to a certain fund
• Indexes for certain organization codes tied to a specific fund

After you have set up your Spend Alert, you will receive an e-mail when anyone makes a purchase that meets your criteria. This e-mail will list the following:

• Index, organization, or fund used (depending on the option you chose)
• Who received the order
• Delivery instructions
• Who placed the order
• Item(s) ordered
• Total dollar amount of the order

You don't need to be a Marketplace Preview shopper to use a Spend Alert. However, you do need to create a Marketplace Preview Profile.

After you've created your profile, you're ready to create your alert.
