Mileage Tracking
The Mileage Tracking feature gives you the ability to track mileage for vehicles and employees. The rates applied to mileage are maintained in a separate list, therefore different rates can be applied to mileage slips regardless of vehicle or employee. Job IDs can be applied to mileage slips, which allow you to track mileage slips by Job.
The mileage expense indicated on a mileage slip is an amount that can be used to reimburse an employee (Note: Not through payroll), bill a customer, track asset expenses, etc. You determine how to use the mileage slip expense by creating the appropriate transaction such as reimbursing an employee or invoicing a customer for expenses.
