Converting Potential Deductions for Mileage to Actual Expenses

QuickBooks Online UK Simple Start

On the menu (left panel) there's this item called Mileage, which can be used manually or via an App, it seems to create a list of trips and indicates the potential deduction.

So I have a list of my own business trips.  I can't see a way to convert this information to an expense claim, so that I can reimburse my expenses.  What is the advantage of using QBO over a spreadsheet if it doesn't pull the info into the accounts? One would think, I should be able to claim the expense and mark it in some way as being paid?

Am I missing something?

Hi there, @Marko500.  I'm here, and I'll share some details on how you can convert your business trips as expenses so you can mark them as paid in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company.

 

Please know that the Mileage feature in QuickBooks is for recording purposes only. To reimburse your business trips, you'll need to manually create an expense transaction or check to mark them as paid in your QBO company account. In case you wish to continue with this method, I'll gladly input the steps below. To begin, here's how:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. On the left navigational bar, click the +New button.
  3. Under SUPPLIERS column, click Expense or Cheque.
  4. Input the necessary information in each field.
  5. Click Save and close.

 

Once done, see this article for further guidelines on how to record a reimbursement as an expense in QBO: Pay for business expenses with personal funds.

 

In addition, I've got you this article to help you manage your expenses in QBO: Enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks Online.
