When creating an expense report, expense types must be entered in order to submit the report for reimbursement. This tutorial will walk you through how to use the new Ground Transportation expense type to enter an aiport shuttle expense on the expense report.
Use the Ground Tranportation expense type for shuttle services (e.g. Groome Transportation), trains, taxis, etc. Rental car expenses use their own expense type (Rental Car).
Upon submission, the expense types are converted to account codes. If you have an expense report pushed back to you from an approver asking for you to correct the account code, they expect you to change the expense type of the lines. You may have mixed Domestic and International expense types or you may have not chosen the most accurate expense type for that line.
