Configuring Google APIs
Important
In order to use the Google APIs, please contact your Akuiteo project manager.
Google APIs are used to make specifying the number of kilometers when creating expenses in expense reports on the new Web Portal and Akuiteo Mobile.
The following APIs are available:
- Place Autocomplete which is used to specify a departure address and an arrival address from a free input.
- Distance Matrix which allows you to quickly calculate the number of kilometers depending on the departure and arrival addresses specified beforehand.
