Customer Settings – Travel Expense Management

Configure customer-specific arrival allowances per day or per trip – as a default for all projects of the customer.

Written by Benny Hahn

On the customer detail page, the Travel Expense Management module adds the tab Billing settings > Travel settings. Here you configure how an arrival allowance is distributed when a consecutive trip covers multiple projects of this customer.

Note: Customer-specific travel settings are only available in ZEP Compact and ZEP Professional.

Arrival allowance for trips across multiple projects

When an employee visits several projects of this customer within a single trip (e.g., on-site visits to different departments on the same day), the question arises how the arrival allowance configured in the project settings is allocated to the involved projects. ZEP offers two configurations, depending on the arrival allowance variant in the project.

For arrival allowance per day

When the projects use the variant Per employee and day, two options are available:

  • Fully per project: the arrival allowance is fully credited to each involved project of this customer

  • Proportionally across projects: the arrival allowance is distributed across the involved projects according to their share of hours. This variant is only sensible when all involved projects have the same arrival allowance per day stored.

For arrival allowance per trip

When the projects use the variant Per employee and trip, two options are likewise available:

  • Fully per project: the arrival allowance is fully credited to each involved project of this customer

  • Only one project: the arrival allowance is fully credited to the first project of the trip. For the other involved projects, no arrival allowance per trip is calculated.
