Understanding Driver Allowances

There are three types of driver allowances:

1. Allowances paid to the driver
2. Allowances charged to customers
3. Allowances paid to suppliers

Allowances paid to the driver - These can be set in Masters - My Drivers

Lets understand how to setup allowances in My Drivers:

1- Salary per month:

Use this if you are paying a fixed monthly amount to your driver

2- Daily wages:

Use this if you are paying your driver on a per day basis

3- Daily Working Hours:

Use this if you pay your driver overtime after a specific number of hours

4- Working Hours:
