Effortlessly Automate Your Mileage Logs Across Multiple Months
The AI Wizard’s Multi-Month Recommendation feature allows you to generate mileage logs for extended periods with ease. Whether it’s months or years of data, you can efficiently tailor recommendations to match your desired mileage or deduction goals, ensuring accurate IRS-Proof mileage logs. By considering your unique needs and calculating the distances between clients, you will not just end up with a random mileage log, but a bulletproof record that is as close to your past trip history as it can be. No need to worry if you don’t know how to create a mileage log. Here’s how to make the most of this powerful tool:
Accessing the Multi-Month Recommendation Feature
Navigate to the AI Wizard Settings:
- Go to the Monthly Trips Menu in the Web Dashboard.
- Click the AI Wizard dropdown arrow and select “Setting AI Wizard”.
- Switch to the “Multi-Month Recommendation” tab at the top.
Choose Your Calculation Basis:
- Select how you want the mileage logs to be calculated:
- Distance-Based (Miles): Input the total miles you wish to log for the selected period.
- Deduction-Based ($): Input the total deduction amount for the selected period.
- Select how you want the mileage logs to be calculated:
Set Your Period:
- Define the Starting Date and Ending Date of the period you want to generate.
- Note: The selected period cannot exceed 3 years.
Customizing Monthly Distributions
Modify Monthly Values:
- After setting the total miles or deductions for the selected period, the system will automatically distribute the value equally across all months.
- Adjust specific months to reflect realistic variations in mileage or deductions.
- For example, if you increase January’s value, the system will redistribute the remaining values across other months proportionally, ensuring the total matches your entered yearly value.
Running the AI Wizard
