We need to capture the mileage travel on an appointment as an expense to the Service orders.  Our customer does not want to create a expense claim for the mileage but want to be able to capture the distance as an expense on the appointment.

The only methods visible to capture an expense on Appointments is with Expense claim/Vendor bill/employee time card

Will this be possible ? Any suggestions?

HI @rethavanalphen11 

I had a similar requirement where shipping needed to be added on the project budget but not invoiced to the customer and there has not been a way that I could find to do so. We had to create a customization for this.

Hello,

Could you capture Mileage as a Non-Stock Item or Service Item on the Details tab of the Service Orders?

Hi Laura Thank you for the response. A Service will be charged to the customer, we need the expense, they will not invoice the customer for the expense it is to understand cost for project

Hey @Kandy Beatty , can you put some light on this? What were the elements that you’d customized?
