Show Odometers - Display's the option to enter the user's vehicle odometer reading from the trip. Entering the odometer start and end will auto calculate the Total Miles field.


Require Comments for Expenses - If entering "other" expenses, the comment box is required to have something typed into it before saving the line. 


Copy Mileage Requestor Email to Vendor - Instead of using the vendor email (pulled from vendor), it will use the requester email.


Autofill Single Line Invoices - Single line PO's will be automatically populated when an invoice is generated.

Note: You will still have to set the status of the line on the invoice.  


Combine Mileage Lines on Req - Mileage lines are combined when a requisition is created. 


Prevent Future Date Entry - This will prevent users from submitting a mileage request for a future date. Users will still be able to add past entries.

mileage.


Note: Differential would only apply to entries with home as a start or destination.  When used, the options should be 

None and Shortest. User should have *Home Vendor ID specified.




Preferred Route - Determines if the fastest or shortest route is automatically selected via Google API.
