QB Desktop - billing sub-customers

I'm glad to see you in this forum, James. Let me help you bill your sub-customers with the parent customer in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Billing the parent customers for the sub-customers charges will have you ensure that both billing information is the same. This way, the parent billing info will display even selecting the sub-customer name on the invoice.

To do so, please ensure that you have your sub-customer setup. You can refer to the steps below for the guidelines:

1. Go to the Customers menu and select Customer Center.
2. From the customer's list, hover your mouse over the diamond bullet under Smith - Bathroom.
3. You'll see a four-headed arrow and drag it to the right. Do the same steps in assigning sub-customers. 
4. The customer is already under the primary Smith customer. 

Once done, create an invoice for your sub-customer. This will then be billed automatically to the parent customer.

Afterwards, you can create a statement after billing them. In this manner, all invoices for both will show up: Create a billing statement.

Should you have more questions about billing your customers. Don't hesitate to post them here. I'm just a few clicks away. Have a great day!

Thanks for that reply. 
I was hoping I could bill multiple sub-jobs on one invoice, rather than creating separate invoices for each sub-job. Any way to do it?

I'm here to provide some information about one invoice for multiple sub-jobs, Parmley_James.

In QuickBooks Desktop, you're unable to invoice more than one job or sub-jobs since the Job is tied to the customer's name in which only one Customer: Job can be billed with one invoice. You'll want to use the class tracking feature to identify your jobs instead and allocate each line item of an invoice to a class. To set up class tracking, I've collected this article for your guide: Set Up And Use Class Tracking In QuickBooks Desktop.

Furthermore, learn how to enter the payment in QuickBooks when a customer pays you and how customers can pay their invoices by credit card or ACH bank transfer through these articles:

Let me know if you have any concerns about creating an invoice in QuickBooks. I'll always be right here to help you anytime.

Ok, I have enabled Classes, and created some Classes, but I cannot assign Time to a Class?

I've got a workaround on how to achieve your goal, Parmley_James.

Since you can only assign a class to these transactions:

• Invoice
• Sales receipt
• Estimate
• Sales order
• Statement Charges
• Refunds and credits
• Check
• Credit card charges
• Bill
• Purchase order
• Paycheck

You can assign classes through a timesheet, tag your customer and then create an invoice.

I'm sorry but I don't understand:

"You can assign classes through a timesheet, tag your customer and then create an invoice."

I already know that I can't assign classes on a timesheet...
