# Controls: Elements and Attributes
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/iccp/documentation/05_api_reference/soap_api/purchaserequest/control_elements/index.md
> Payment controls set the spending boundaries of the purchase requests. Controls reside within the Purchase Template. All purchase templates have at least one core control. You can add additional controls that inter-operate with each other to the purchase request. You can also add additional controls to purchase request in addition to the purchase templates.
