When using mileage reimbursement system, do not require an input with every assignment
Either:
1) Allow a blank value in the assigning window
OR
2) If you don't want to allow a blank value in the drop down, have an option to set $0.00 as default in the mileage table.
Requiring assignors to enter both a position and the mileage amount from two drop downs significantly slows down the assigning process.
I'm going to have to remove this feature and do mileage on another system now.
We’ve issued an update to the mileage tables that now allows you to restrict the mileage vales only to certain leagues and/or game codes. This should help with this situation since any game that has no applicable mileage values will auto-fill to $0.00 as you’re describing.
Restricting your mileages only to the applicable leagues or game codes will now help alleviate the need to select $0.00 on game types that don’t need mileage payments and only require a selection on the game types that have potential mileage values.
Hope that helps. Thank you.

Our travel fees are based on a zone system and determined by where the event is held AND where the official is coming from. We try (particularly on weekdays) to schedule officials for events within the zone where they live. Therefore there is no travel. That is the ideal scenario. Having stated that, EVERY event has the potential for travel fees..
Having $0 as a default would make it much easier and the suggestion of restricting travel according to leagues or game codes just doesn't work in this situation,
