(New Module) Daily Allowances entry
The management of daily allowances can be simplified by treating them as a separate expense. These records can reflect any deductions or additions and ensure that the per diem matches the actual expenses. This method not only simplifies the accounting process, but also provides valuable insight into daily financial habits, contributing to a transparent budget management.
