We currently have subcontractors working for us that we want to bill to clients as if they were staff, by tracked time by project. We pay these subs as vendors by creating a bill based on the timesheets they have submitted.
I have set up an item to use when inputting their time so that it is expensed when input but posted to income when we invoice them to the client.
When I create a client invoice that includes a sub's time, I add their time using 'adding time and costs' and selecting their time from the 'time' tab, but because I've also created an invoice for the sub in order to pay them as a vendor, their invoice also shows up under 'items', which I assume I also have to import onto the client invoice.
Because I don't want to double-bill the client, I delete line item showing the sub's invoice. But should that invoice be showing up as billable to the client at all? When I use the sub's time to create their own invoice to pay them, should I be using the checkbox to mark their time as billable, or should I leave them empty since I've already marked their time billable through the use of timesheets?
