We need to be able to set up more than one mileage rate for a company. We reimburse at different rates depending on whether the employee also receives an auto allowance.

Hey Vaughn,
This suggestion was already shipped. Can you create a new suggestion?
Thank you
The IRS rate goes out three digits. Can we get the expense report to display the same three digits?
From the IRS website;
Beginning on January 1, 2022, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be:
58.5 cents per mile driven for business use, up 2.5 cents from the rate for 2021,
The expense report calculates correctly but displays as only two digits. Can you fix the display or does that need to be a separete suggestion?
Hi Elizabeth,
I'm able to add as many mileage rates as I can in my environment. I've attached some screenshots.
If we have a bug, please let me know and our team will review.
Thanks!
Confirming that this is not an option in version 2021 R3.
We need to be able to enter two mileage rates for one company especially at the end of the year. We need 2021 mileage rate to apply to items dated in 2021 and the 2022 mileage rate (which is different) to apply to items dated in 2022.
The update is in 19.5. You can set the mileage rates from Employee Tools > Expense Posting Dashboard > Manage > Mileage Rates
This says it has shipped and when I look in the portal settings, I see no where to set multiple rates within the same company. Am I not running the correct version?
Thanks Michael. Your proposed solution should work as long as within one company we are able to designate 2 different rates. So one person in company 106 would need to be able to be assigned one rate & another person in the same company would need a different rate. Thanks for helping get this implemented! This will really simplify the process for our end users.
Our thought is to allow an admin to create different mileage rates with descriptions per company. Employees can then select which mileage type matches their usage. This selection will auto fill out the rate based on the admin's setup. Sounds like this would take care of your needs.
We also have multiple rates within the same company. Also need all to be able to report their mileage, personal and business if driving a company truck, and not getting reimbursed.
Hi team,
We are planning on making this item come to light. Our thought is to create an admin setup to allow admins to setup descriptions and rates for mileage per company. Is this what you had envisioned? I'd like to clarify before dev begins.
It would also be nice to add a date to the mileage rate to accommodate the timing of rate changes. Therefore, mileage driven before mileage date get one rate, after the date a different rate.
Folks who are on an auto allowance receive a reduced rate. If we could have a dropdown box to allow us to select the lower rate, that would work. But, an even better solution would be to allow a ud field on the PR Employee setup to designate those employees who are on auto allowance & if that box is checked, then their mileage rate would default to the lower rate.
Some get full rate, others get less. Can be people in the same company.
