If you use your vehicle or your organization’s vehicle for business needs, create a mileage expense to report the fuel costs. You can record such mileage expenses by recording the distance traveled or your odometer readings.

*   Click **Purchases** in the left sidebar and select **Expenses** from the dropdown.
*   Go to the **Record Mileage** tab.
*   Enter the date on which your business incurred the mileage expense.
*   Next, select the employee who incurred the expense.
*   Enter the **Distance Travelled**, or select the **Odometer Reading** to calculate mileage from the start and end reading of your odometer.

The amount for the mileage expense will be automatically calculated based on the distance travelled or the odometer reading.

*   Choose an account through which you tracks the payment for the expense.
*   Select a vendor with whom you wish to associate the expense.

**Pro Tip:** You can also attach the receipt of your expense from the Desktop or Cloud.

*   You can also choose to mark the expense as Billable or associate the expense to a project after you select a customer.
*   Click **Save**.
