# Enabling trips

Trips must be enabled before users can create them. Enabling the feature updates the UI for administrators, Finance users, and claimants.

### Enabling trips

1. Go to **Setup > Settings > Account**.
2. Select **Enable Trips**.
3. Click **Save**.

Once enabled, the following changes take effect:

#### **For administrators:**

- A new **Subsistence Rates** option appears in Setup. See [Setting up subsistence rates and categories](/docs/set-up-subsistence-rates).
- An **Enable Subsistence Rates** checkbox becomes available on each category record.

#### **For Finance users:**

- A new **Subsistence** tab appears in Accounting.

#### **For users:**

- A **New Trip** button appears in Expenses.
- A **Trip** dropdown appears on all expense claims. This does not need to be used unless the selected category requires it: users will receive a warning if a trip is required but not selected.
