Overview
Timesheet Portal provides the ability to track expense mileage within expense forms, allowing you to record the number of miles travelled and the rate per mile. Mileage is associated with a particular expense category, therefore it must be turned on for the entire category if you wish to make use of this feature.
​
​ Enabling expense mileage
To enable expense mileage,you should firstly configure one of your expense categories to use mileage. To do this, go to Settings->Expenses, and then click on the Expense Categories button on top. A list of your configured categories is then shown. You can either add a new category using the Add New Expense Category button or you can edit an existing category using the edit icon on the right hand side of the existing category name.
​
To enable mileage tracking for a particular expense category, tick Track mileage for this expense category and save the expense category.
​
You can configure the units used for mileage (e.g. km or miles) as well as the default rate from the General Settings section of the Expense Settings page.
​
​ Tracking Mileage
Once you have enabled a category to use mileage, simply change the expense entry category within an expense form to your chosen category. You will notice an additional line appear for the entry, providing fields to enter the mileage units travelled and rate per unit. The total is calculated automatically. Please note sales tax is automatically disabled for any mileage expenses.
