Can i link a contractors invoice to a company invoice?

Hi damien-forevercl,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! If you would like to link an expense or bill to your customer's invoice, you can enable and use the billable expense feature.

 

Here's how to enable billable expense tracking:

 

  1. Go to Gear ⚙ icon, and select Account and Settings
  2. Select Expenses.
  3. From the Bills and expenses section, select Edit ✎.
  4. Turn on the following:
  • Show Items table on expense and purchase forms
  • Track expenses and items by customer
  • Make expenses and items billable

      5. Select Default bill payment terms on the dropdown menu ▼.
      6. Select Save and Done.

 

Here's how to bill a customer for an expense:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select the transaction (Bill, Expense, or Check) you want to create.
  3. Select the payee.
  4. In the Category column, select the expense account for transaction.
  5. Enter the description and amount of the expense, then select the Billable checkbox.
  6. In the Customer column, select the customer you want to bill for this expense.
  7. Select Save and close.

To reimburse the cost, link the billable expense to your customer's invoice.

 

  1. Select + New and select Invoice.
  2. In the Customer ▼ dropdown menu, select the customer you created a billable expense for. This opens the Add to invoice window.
  3. Select Add on the billable expense you want to charge to your customer.
  4. Select Save and close.
