Follow the steps below to create a personal car mileage expense:
1. Go to My Expenses > Overview or Draft.
2. Click Add Expense and select Mileage.
Note: If your Finance team has given you permission to create both personal and company car mileage expenses, select Personal Car.
3. On the expense you can enter the mileage details, including the journey date and category. You should also add a description for the journey and enter your From and To locations.
Note: We recommend you always enter postcodes for From and To locations.
ExpenseIn uses Google Maps to calculate the distance for you. You can override the calculated value by manually amending the distance.
4. If you made a return journey, you can tick the Return Journey checkbox to double the distance.
Note: If you see a plus symbol next to the To box, your Finance team has enabled the Multi-Stop feature which allows you to enter up to 25 stops you've made during your business journey.
5. Select the Rate (per mile) and Vehicle Details from the drop-down options. Once selected, this will be used in subsequent mileage expenses.
6. You can attach fuel receipts to your expense by clicking Choose a Receipt.
7. If you need to add extra detail to your mileage expense, click Add Additional Information.
8. Click Create to add the expense to your account.
You can view the new mileage expense under the Draft subheading of the Expenses section, and edit it as many times as necessary before submitting it.
