billable expenses

Hi MLHbks,

Welcome to the Community. QuickBooks is a versatile program that helps you streamline your work using the powerful features offered in the program. Rest assured, I'll be happy to share more info so you're on the right track. 

The function you've described above isn't available in QuickBooks.  I can see the benefit of having this function and I encourage you to send feedback about this to our engineers. You can send feedback by clicking on the Gear icon and looking for Feedback. New product ideas and improvements are based on the feedback we get from users like you. In the meantime, feel free to check out this article that shows you how to: Remove a billable expense charge in QuickBooks Online.

Let me know if you have other questions by leaving a comment below. I'll be one message away. 

For an expense that you want to track to a customer, you wouldn't select the billable expense check box but you would select the related Customer/Sub-Customer or project.
