When a volunteer creates a claim for travel the approximate travel distance is calculated and displayed. This same distance is shown to the administrator when managing the expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, we&#8217;ve added vehicle types and set expense reasons that you can use to report and organise your expense claims.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"359\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-5.png 359w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-5-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><br>The administrator view for expenses has been updated to include the distance calculation, what the claim is for and to indicate if the claim is more than expected for the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6-1024x314.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6-1024x314.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6-768x235.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6-1536x471.png 1536w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6-900x276.png 900w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6-1280x392.png 1280w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-6.png 1585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI Assistant for Creating Opportunity Descriptions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you get stuck for ideas or need some inspiration when creating your opportunity descriptions?
