Introduction

With the Per Diem module, your employees can easily submit travel-related expense reports using either the Expense App or the Expense Portal, in which they specify a given travel period, the overall purpose of the travel, and any other relevant details relating to accommodation and/or daily meals.

When an employee has submitted a per diem report, the details are used for calculating the daily allowance for this employee and for this particular purpose. All configuration, including rates and rules, takes place in Business Central. Unlike expenses, where expense users are required to document expenses with receipts and invoices, per diems reimburse a fixed amount without receipts or invoices.

The Per Diem module is an extra module in Expense Management, and you must activate and subscribe to it before you can use it. To subscribe and activate the Per Diem module, follow these steps:

1. Go to Continia Solution Management.

2. Check if the Per Diem module is enabled.

   

3. If the module isn't activated, select the Expense Management line.

4. Select Manage > Manage Subscription.

5. Follow the assisted setup guide, and activate the Per Diem module.

After updating the subscription, you must also enable the per diem feature so that expense users can submit per diems. This can be done straight away, or you can wait until you've finished setting everything up. To activate the feature, follow these steps:

1. Go to Expense Management Setup.

2. Turn on the Per Diem field.
