Note: This field label is either Miles or Kilometers, depending on the option selected on the Setup tab of Company Expense Report Configuration form in the desktop application.

If you assign miles/kilometers for an expense, Deltek checks the Currency Code column in the Expense Reports grid to ensure that the assigned currency matches the employee's company functional currency. If they are different, an error message displays, the employee's company functional currency is entered in Currency Code, and you cannot change it.

Rate The amount your company reimburses you for travel displays in this field. If your system administrator gave you editing privileges on the Setup tab of the Company Expense Report Configuration form in the desktop application, you can change the rate.
Total Deltek uses the entries in Miles (or Kilometers) and Rate to calculate the travel expense amount. It also displays this in Amount on the expense row on the grid.
