Is there a simple way to track mileage with quickbooks business?

Hi there, sarah50.

QuickBooks Online offers a workaround if you or your employees track mileage for reimbursement. Here's how:

First, set up yourself or your employee as a supplier. Please take note that employee and supplier names can't be the same. You can either add a middle name or a title (Mr or Miss) before the name of the person. 

Second, go to your Chart of Accounts and set up an expense account for mileage.

Third, set up mileage as a product or service to track it. Here's how: 

1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right hand corner, then select Products and Services.
2. Click New, and then select between Non-stock or Service.
3. In the Sales information section, check I sell this product/service to my customers.
4. In the Purchasing information section, check I purchase this product/service from a supplier.
5. Enter a description and the cost that you pay per mile.
6. Assign the mileage expense account you just created.
7. Click Save. 

Lastly, use the item or mileage service you've created to record or track miles driven. Just go to the Plus (+) icon and select Bills.

Also, you can activate the Billable Expenses feature if you need to mark the mileage as billable. You can follow the steps provided in this guide for more details: Enter Billable Expenses.
