I am using the Trip Log app to track my employees' mileage. I have uploaded my employee's mileage from Trip Log to Quickbooks online as an expense per the Trip Log instructions: https://help.triplogmileage.com/en/articles/2587584-quickbooks-online-integration
What do I do next to reimburse my employee for their mileage?

Welcome back, @imoody25.
Let me provide some clarification about setting up a reimbursement type for your employee.
Once you enter a recurring amount for the reimbursement, QuickBooks will automatically fill in the Reimbursement field upon creating the paycheck. Thus, you don't need to expense the reimbursement.
However, if you haven't entered a recurring amount, you'll need to manually enter the amount from the Reimbursement field when you create the paycheck.
