Setting up company policies for mileages

You can define company policies so certain repetitive work flows are triggered automatically. For example, you can trigger the following actions:

ActionDescription
Automatically approve documents below a specified limitDocuments below a certain limit will be approved automatically. This is useful if you want to avoid extra approval work when handling documents with low amounts. Instead, you can set a fixed limit for a specific period of time, and everything will be approved automatically.
Refund documents only up to a specified limitThis rule sets an upper limit for the refundable amount for a certain document type. For mileage, this will make mileage refunds only up to this limit possible, while expenses will be allocated into a refundable and a non-refundable part.
It will be indicated to the approver and the admin if the limit was exceeded.
When setting up this rule in Company Policies > Edit List, leave the Period of Time column blank.
Give a warning for documents above the set limitA warning comment will be added to documents exceeding a specified limit. This will not prevent any documents from being approved or posted, but it will indicate to the approver and the admin that the limit was exceeded.

Company policies are defined for users or user groups on mileage vehicles and on the Expense Types page for a specific time period. The following list clarifies the values of a time period:

  • A day — is within 24 hours
  • A week — is Monday to Sunday
  • A month — is the calendar month of the document
  • The year — is the current calendar year
