Use
The distances traveled on a trip (measured in miles or kilometers) can be reimbursed by a flat rate. The US Government specifies a tax-free maximum flat rate for travel costs in miles.
Prerequisites
As of 1997, the federal flat rate was changed to $0.315/mile. This rate has more than the normal two places behind the decimal for the US dollar. If it has not yet been set in your system, you have to
set up a new currency (USDN) with at least three places behind the decimal, in order to use a rate with more than two decimal places.Features
On the basis of the legs of trip stored in the trip, the system calculates the reimbursement amount for travel costs. The necessary flat rates for travel costs can be changed in Customizing for Travel Management in the Define travel costs flat rates view (delimit by times), if the travel flat rates offered in the standard system change.
