If "Yes" is missing in the billable column, transactions aren't marked as billable. Let's review the setup, Akord.

Here are the steps to enable the Billable Expense feature, use it in transactions, and verify it in a report.

 

To begin:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks, navigate to Account and Settings through the gear icon in the upper right corner.
  2. Under the Your Company, select Account and Settings.
  3. In the left-hand menu, click on Expenses.

  5. Ensure that the Make expenses and items billable option is toggled ON.

  6. Optionally, set a default markup rate if desired.
  7. Click on Save to apply the changes.

 

Once all is set, let's proceed to create a Billable Expense Transaction. You can follow the steps below:

 

  1. Select the + New button on the left-hand sidebar.
  2. Choose the type of transaction you want to create (Bill, Expense, or Check).

  3. Fill in the details such as Payee, Date, Payment account, and Amount.
  4. In the Category or Item details section, ensure that the Billable column has the checkbox selected.
  5. (Optional) Enter the customer's name if the expense is billed to a specific customer.

Finally, confirm the transaction by using the List by Vendor Report, following the guide below:

  2. In the search bar, type Transaction List by Vendor and select the report.
