Question asked by Susie Chassagne 1 day ago
I've been trying to add a manual mileage entry for 2025-2026 mileage. All the instructions that show up on Google suggest that I should be able to add an expense under "purchases", but all I can see is the option to create a bill. Have I missed something or is there another way to do this?
Hi Susie,
I have taken a look and can see you are on the Small accounting plan. The mileage expense claim feature is only available on the Large plan which automates the calculation and offers mileage tracking.
However, as a workaround, you can record your mileage by creating a purchase bill. You can do this by following the steps below:
Navigate to the Purchases > Bills.
Click on the Create Bill button.
Select yourself as the Supplier. If you are not already listed, you can add yourself as a new supplier contact.
Enter the date the travel took place.
In the Description field, provide details of the journey, such as the destination and the total miles travelled.
Calculate the total value of your claim based on your approved mileage rate and enter this in the Unit Price or Gross field.
Select the Mileage account code.
Click the Save button to finish.

Thanks for your reply. I've done this, but it then leaves me with an outstanding unpaid balance. As there are no bank transfers to match these up to how do I deal with this?
