Two Mileage Types

Let’s start with this: there are two basic types of mileage entries. One is what we call a stand-alone record, where you include a starting location for the request, and an ending location. The mileage record that you see is the computed driving distance between the two locations, start and end. The other that happens ( and that you don’t see ) when you create the stand-alone record is that a new and incomplete record is also created. The new incomplete record will have a starting location ( which is the same location as the end location of the stand alone record ). This incomplete record is “waiting” for you to enter a new single location record. Why? Because it is usually the case that people travel from one point to the next, without interruption. They go from point A to point B and then to point C. When you go from point A to point B, the unapp remembers your last destination. You can now enter your next mileage by simply including one destination. That is the second basic type of mileage entry… and it does not matter whether you call the destination start or end or origin or destination. All of these labels work. Unapp will find point B, and so the new mileage that you see will include point B as the start, and point C as the end.
