An expense type must be selected. Expense Types are set up in the system and the choices are

· Mileage

If mileage is chosen as the expense type, then you must enter the number of miles and the system will automatically calculate the Amount.  Since the calculation is automatic, you are not allowed to enter the amount field for mileage. You must also enter the details of the trip such as From, To, Who ( i.e. client visited), Why (i.e. reason). 

You can enter the expense description in the description box. For Mileage the description box is optional and it is mandatory for all other types of expenses.

You click on the “Done with this entry” link after entering an expense.  Doing so moves the completed expense entry up, reopens the entry fields for the next expense item, and displays subtotals by expense type and the grand total at the bottom of the screen.  Note also that the expense entry can be deleted if necessary.

You must fill out a separate entry for each one-way trip for Mileage.  There is no limit to the number of entries per record.  The totals for all the expense types and the grand total are automatically calculated in real time. Employee can enter comments in the comments box.
