Timesheet entries connected to an Invoice

Hi there, 

Adding billable time to your invoices from your weekly timesheet is an awesome feature available to you in QuickBooks Online. This feature saves you tons of time and helps keep your hours accounted for. I'd be happy to explain how to remove your timesheet entries from invoices you're trying to delete. 

Here's what you'll do: 

1. Click the Sales tab, then select Invoices. 

2. Locate your invoice from the list and click to open it. 

3. Click the small link icon on the far right side of the line item for your hours.

4. Simply click Remove, or to view the exact details of the timesheet, click the blue link that says, Billable time. 

5. Here you can review the time activity for your reference, or delete it by clicking the Delete button at the bottom of the page. 

Simple as that. I hope this helps to fully answer your question. If you're still in need of further assistance, please reach out to our tech support team. 

Have a great weekend.

Hi, Addie;

I appreciate your taking the time to provide a reply.  I use Desktop though.  Also, i guess i did not explain properly what i need to do.  I have an invoice that i already created from my timesheet.  This invoice needs to be voided, and i was hoping to be able to see the breakdown of the individual time, expense and mileage entries that made it up, so i could go back in and reset them.

My mistake! I just now noticed the Desktop tag you used on your original question. I'll explain how this works in Desktop.

In the Desktop program, the timesheet and the invoice are two separate areas of your account. Unlike Online, if you delete or void an invoice, your timesheet will still remain unaffected. 

If you'd like to simply review the timesheet information, you'll open the Timesheet module, then click "Previous" to search through your past timesheets. There's some additional information here: Create and print timesheets. While the article is a US resource, the steps will be the same in your account. 

If you need any additional help with this, I highly recommend reaching out to our tech support agents. 

Cheers.

Hi, and thank you again :).  I've been making invoices from timesheets for years.  Here is what i am asking. I hope this clarifies what i am asking:

I made a December invoice, from the timesheet and costs, and my invoice line is Joe Blow.... 19.43 hours. I have previously also billed the client in November for 29.2 hours of Joe Blow's time.   I need to delete the December invoice.  When i delete the invoice, the timesheet components that comprise the total of 19.43 hours are not reset to billable;  i have to go back and do it manually.  Is there a bulk way to to do this, or is there way i can see what timesheet components i used to create the December invoice so that i do not accidentally double bill items from the November invoice?

Thank you again -

Invoicing | The garbage can on the right is supposed to make it so we can remove an item from an invoice but "keep" the link for billable expense or time.
However, when I hit save for the invoice, the "removed" item is back on the invoice.
