Set Mileage Rates and Choose the Default Rate

Set Mileage Rates and Choose the Default Rate

Review and add per-kilometre mileage rates with GL coding in Finofo, choose the default rate for new claims and keep alternatives for employees.

At a glance

Mileage rates set the per-kilometre amounts employees can claim. Each rate is coded to a GL account.

The default rate, marked with a star, is prefilled on every new mileage claim; the others stay available to pick. The rate used is stored on each claim, so changes affect new claims only.

How It Works

Each rate is a card showing its name, the amount per kilometre, a worked example such as "100 km × 0.72 = 72", and its coding, for example "Coded to 7100 · Travel". The default card says "Prefilled on every new mileage claim." Every other card says "Submitters can pick this on a claim instead of the default." and has a Make default button.

A common set-up is a standard rate for the first 5,000 km as the default, a lower rate after 5,000 km, and a fuel-only rate for company vehicles. Each card has edit and delete icons.

Review Your Rates

1. Open Settings > Mileage rates.

Settings > Mileage rates: the default rate with its star, and alternative rates with worked examples and Make default.

2. Check each card's rate, worked example and GL account.

Add or Change a Rate

1. Click Add rate, or the edit icon on an existing card.

2. Enter the rate's name, its amount per kilometre and the account it is coded to, then save.

3. To retire a rate, use the delete icon on its card. Claims already made keep their rate.

Change the Default Rate

1. On the rate that should be prefilled on new claims, click Make default.

2. Check that the star has moved to that rate.

Tips

  • Review rates when official per-kilometre rates change each year.
  • Name each rate so employees know when to use it, for example "Company vehicle, fuel only".

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing a rate update past claims?

No. The rate is stored on each claim, so changes apply to new claims only.

Can employees choose a different rate?

Yes. The default is prefilled, and the other rates stay available to pick on a claim.

Are rates per kilometre or per mile?

Per kilometre.

How do I tell which rate is the default?

It is marked with a star and reads "Prefilled on every new mileage claim."
