Additional allowances are optional payments provided to employees to cover specific daily expenses. These allowances, regulated by government-set rates, are commonly used in countries like the UK to reimburse costs such as transportation, drinks, or entertainment. To enable these allowances, you must activate them on the Expense Management Setup page.

To configure specific allowances:

1. Use the icon, search for Expense Management Setup and select the related link.

2. On the Per Diem FastTab, navigate to the Enable Allowance section. You can now specify whether the additional allowance types must be disabled or enabled: Drinks, Transportation, and Entertainment. The setting options are:

   • Disabled - allowances are not used.
   • Enabled (no allowances by default) - allowances are enabled, but they are not automatically assigned to the expense user. The user must actively select the relevant allowance types during expense submission.
   • Enabled (allowances by default) - allowances are enabled and automatically assigned to the expense user by default. The user can use these pre-selected allowances without needing to make additional selections during expense submission.

3. Use the icon, search for Per Diem Rate and select the related link.

4. On the Per Diem Rate card, on the Additional Allowance FastTab, you can now enter the daily allowance amount for drinks, transport, and entertainment.
