Is anyone having trouble invoicing reimbursable expenses

I am trying to send an invoice for expenses we need reimbursed, like normal, but the option to add the expenses to invoices is not showing up. Has something changed? Or is this not working?

You'll want to turn on the billable expense tracking to record billable expenses, Darren. Then, let's ensure all costs are reimbursed to the customer to maximize your revenue.

 

To turn on, here's how:

 

1. Click the Gear icon in the upper left corner. Then, select Account and settings.

  • Show Items table on expense and purchase forms.
  • Track expenses and items by customer.
  • Make expenses and items billable.

4. Click Save.

 

Once turned on, you can enter a billable expense and link it with your customer's invoice to reimburse the cost. For the additional steps, see this article: Enter billable expenses in QuickBooks Online.
