New Feature from Gorilla Expense: Google Maps to Enter Mileage Type Expenses

Gorilla Expense has released a new integrated feature within the application where users can use Google maps to calculate number of miles for mileage expense type. The biggest advantages with this feature are:

• Full visibility on a mileage expense for expense reports approvers and AP/Finance before sending the data to Dynamics ERP
• Convenience for the users so that they can submit mileage expenses without having to go to an external map application to calculate miles

This feature is currently available on the web application with an updated mobile app scheduled for release in a few days.

Using this feature, the application will automatically calculate the number of miles if the user enters the Start and End locations on a map. Since the IRS defined mileage rate is already entered by the application, the math to calculate the amount is also complete! The application also saves the Start and End locations in the comments field for reference. Here is how it looks:

1) Click on ‘Create Transaction’ and select the expense type as ‘Mileage’. Once that is done, the user will see a Google Maps link. Click on the link. In the next screen as shown below, enter the Start and End locations and then click on the ‘Import Mileage’ button

Once this done, the mileage expense type is complete as shown in the image below. As seen in the image below, the application automatically imports the IRS mileage rate and does the math. It also adds the Start and End addresses to the Comments box. Once the user clicks on Save, the application can be added to an expense report for submission.

And that’s how simple and powerful this feature is. If you have any questions or comments, we want to hear from you – info@gorillaexpense.com
