Good day, Slowdragon,

 

Let's make a bank deposit to reimburse yourself for the mileage shown on your tracker.

 

Here's how:

  1. Click Create ⨁ icon, select Bank deposit.
  2. Select the account where the account is taken from in the Account drop-down list.
  3. Enter your name that is set up a supplier profile in the Received from field.
  4. Enter the creditors' account in the Account field where you want to deposit the funds.
  5. If you didn't add yourself as a supplier, empty the Receive from field. Then, select your personal account in the Account field.
  6. Enter the amount, then click Save and close.

You can delete miles added in QuickBooks Online to reset it. This will not affect your reports since this is for tracking purposes only. Let me show you how:

  1. Go to Mileage from the left navigation bar.
  2. Click the trip to expand it.
  3. Select the Trash icon, then select Yes to confirm the deletion process.

With regards to adjusting the mileage claimed previously, just follow the steps above on how to make a bank deposit. But, I recommend consulting with your accountant first before proceeding. He/She might have specific instructions on which account to use.

 

However, if you're added as an employee, feel free to read through this article: Manually track mileage for multiple vehicles. This link will help record and reimburse mileage.

 

I've also added this article for additional information: Claiming business mileage the easy way.

 

Keep me posted if you have follow-up questions and I'd be glad to help you out.
