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 a travel flat rate 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.

Travel flat rate 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 travel flat rate configured in the project settings is allocated to the involved projects. ZEP offers two configurations, depending on the travel flat rate variant in the project.

Travel flat rate per day

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

  • Fully per project: the travel flat rate is fully credited to each involved project of this customer

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

Travel flat rate per trip

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

  • Fully per project: the travel flat rate is fully credited to each involved project of this customer

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