Commute Miles measures a user's daily commute from home to the office. The daily commute is the number of mile a user would normally travel to the office and in case a user is driving from home to another location, the daily commute is not counted towards the reimbursable miles. Admin can assign Commute Miles to individual users. If Commute Miles are defined these miles will be deducted from the user's mileage reimbursement, in case the travel took place from/to user's "Home" location.
