Trips

When creating trips, you can submit your expenses collectively for a specific business trip. The trip can also include several destinations. Find out more in this article.


Folders

Folders allow you to group relevant expenses and mileages and submit them all at once. For more information on how to submit folders, see the following article.


Regular expenses

Regular expenses are individual expenses incurred during a business trip or outside business trips.

To submit an expense, the following information is required:

  • Invoice receipt

  • Category (Cost type)

  • Date of the receipt

  • Name of the merchant

When submitting, you can choose whether the expense should be reimbursed (if the expense was paid in cash or with a private card) or not reimbursed (if the company card was used).


Mileages

A mileage expense is an allowance for travel expenses at a specified rate per mile or km granted to employees for the use of a vehicle during a business trip.

To submit a mileage, the following information is required:

  • Start location

  • Destination

  • Start date

  • Type of vehicle

  • Date of return

Have a look at our article on how mileage allowances are calculated for more information.

Note

  • Your company may require you to input the purpose of an expense, in which case this field may also appears as mandatory.
