How to Expense Mileage
Abacus has a Mileage Calculator Feature that is enabled by default for your company.
Configuring Mileage Reimbursement
Administrators can go to the Spend Policy page from their Admin Sidebar.
From there, scroll to the Rules section. Admins can adjust the reimbursement rate here. We default to the current IRS rate (which automatically updates), but it's simple to apply a custom rate.
Expensing Mileage
To create a mileage expense in Abacus, set the merchant to Mileage. This will automatically bring up 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 Abacus or use the GPS mileage tracking feature to calculate your mileage. Abacus will then 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.
Please Note: If you use the GPS feature, you can still enter the mileage manually if the optimal route does not reflect the actual number of miles driven.
