How to Expense Mileage

Emburse Spend has a Mileage Calculator Feature that is enabled by default for your company. 

Configure Mileage Reimbursement

In the Admin sidebar, click Expense Policies.

Scroll down to the Rules section to adjust the reimbursement rate. The default is the current IRS rate, which automatically updates, but it is simple to apply a custom rate. Just click the Edit button next to the current Mileage rate to make your change.

Create a Mileage Expense

To create a mileage expense in Emburse Spend, set the merchant to Mileage. This will open a calculator that will apply the reimbursement rate to the number of miles you are expensing.

You can choose to enter the number of miles for the trip in Emburse Spend or use the GPS mileage tracking feature to calculate your mileage. Emburse Spend will calculate the reimbursable amount based on your company's reimbursement rate. You can then fill in fields like you normally would to create your expense.

The Mileage field will be inactive once the user has entered the mileage details and the GPS map has calculated the miles.
