There are multiple of Mileage Record creation. Two are discussed here.
We’ll call them (1).single destination (2).two-destination and (3).multiple destination requests are discussed in a separate article
Single Destinations
- To enter one address
- “Simon, I’m going to [ some place ]
- ( optional ) [ roundtrip ] ( Hint: just use the keyword “round-trip” somewhere in your request )
- ( optional ) [ a complete date ]
- ( optional ) mileage is [ a number with or without a decimal ] ” ( this is for specifically declared mileage record types )
- To enter one address, alternate form
- “New mileage, start is { some place ]
- everything else follows the pattern previously-described
- Single address entries will always check the previous mileage record to set the start location for the new record. If no record is found, start location will default to HOME.
- If the date, or travel date, is not included, then travel date defaults to TODAY. Mileage Pie automatically includes travel date = today, unless specified otherwise
- A single address with specified roundtrip will build two spokes from the end location of the previous record from a same day entry, or from your home if no previous record is found.
- A previous record will only include a record dated the same date as the date specified in your request, except this may include a record created up to 4 hours prior to your request if dated the previous day
Two destinations
- Two enter two addresses
- “New mileage, start is { some place ] end is [ some place ]
- ( optional ) date is [ a complete date ]
- ( optional ) purpose is [ a description of the reason for the trip ]
- ( optional ) note is [ put here any notes that you care to add to the record ]”
- TAKE NOTE
- two destination entries do not support Declared Mileage types
- two destination entries do not support the use of Round-trip
- Use if you are not starting your trip from home
- Use if you are inserting a trip out and back from home into your trip history – to enter a trip that you forgot
