Setting up per diem groups

Per diem groups are used to differentiate setups between multiple user categories. For example, in some companies, there will be different per diem rates for different employee groups.

A per diem group is a grouping of all the available rates for different countries and regions. A per diem group may also contain allowance codes that specify which accounts that will be used for each rate.
