Transport Claims-Setup – An Overview

Employees in an organization commute to various places for official purposes.  The mode of transport can be either public or private.  The employees are reimbursed for the transportation charges for any mode of transport.  In case of a private transport, there must be a master table consisting of the rates for the distance travelled, based on which the employees can be reimbursed.  This component is used to define the rates for private transport and map a reimbursement item to an account for payment purposes.  The two activities are briefly explained below.

Entering the rate master for private transport

Through this activity, you can define new rates or modify existing rates for private transport for a reimbursement unit.  You can either enter or change the effective dates for the validity of the rates.  There is also an option to view the preceding and succeeding rate master details.

Mapping an item to an account

Through this activity, you can map a reimbursement item to an account or edit the details of a reimbursement item that is mapped to an account for a particular reimbursement unit.  The system updates the finance book with the account details. The details are then used for computing the amount that is to be paid to an employee towards reimbursement of the transport claims.
