Join nowI deleted some old invoices to Clients that had billable expenses attached. Now I am creating new invoices and need to add these billable expenses, but they do not show up as an open billable expenses when I create the new invoice. However, when I go to the expense, it is checked "billable". It must have become unattached when I deleted the original invoice. How do I reattach?
Hi there, @MiFoster.
Let me help you attach your billable expense to your invoice in QuickBooks.
I've replicated the steps that you've made. On my end, the open billable expense is still showing when I created a new invoice.
Let's make sure that you've selected the correct billable customer when creating the invoice. This might be the reason why you're unable to see the billable transaction.
It's also possible that the billable expense was accidentally attached to your other invoices. To test, try deleting the expense transaction. If it is linked to an invoice, then the system will automatically prompt you, and you won't be able to delete it.
Here's how:
Once you get a prompt, then you have to locate the invoice first and open it to remove the linked billable expense.
If you're able to delete the transaction, you can recreate it again and link it to your invoice. Just make sure to copy its details first before deleting it.
In addition, you can check out this article for further help in managing your expenses in QuickBooks Online: Enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks.
Let me know how it goes by adding a comment down below. I'd be glad to further assist you.
Thank you. I was able to delete and recreate each expense and they now show up for attachment to the invoice. Thank you again for your help.
Best Regards
