Why is there a default that denies the value of $0.00 as a rate or reimbursement for mileage?

Can Expensify program a value of zero for us?

Hey @Brockberg44, thanks for posting to the Community!
We recently updated our mileage functionality and this was an unintended side effect. I've notified my team, and I'll let you know if we are able to bring this back!
Please let me know if you have any other questions! 😉

Hey @Brockberg44! Yes, that an issue that was also affected by the recent update to how distance expenses are handled. Our team is working on that issue as well, and we should have this resolved for you soon!

Great, thanks for working on this for all of us. Another lost feature for me just this month is that while the odometer start and end values calculate the miles traveled, in the Reports, the odometer values are lost, and only the total miles are reported. I need the odometer readings for start and end to appear in those Reports, just like they did in the past. Perhaps this is another casualty of your updates?

Cool! And thanks for the prompt response. Makes me feel good about Expensify.

My members are having the same issue. Was this ever fixed?

This was actually intentional after further review. Since all expenses should have a value we don't allow the rate to be set to $0. You can set the rate to $0.01 as the lowest value.
