quickbook 2020 desktop - expense billable check box not present

I have quickbooks 2020 mac desktop and at the Enter Bills page I don't see a check box under billable

There are a number of pages showing how to do this for the online version - via the preferences in the edit menu - but the only preference I can find is on QuickBooks mac desktop version is in the QuickBooks menu and it only shows time tracking not time and expense.

Hello @Johnh530,

 

Let me help share how you can enter a billable expense and a checkmark to show up in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

To start with, you don't have to turn on any preferences or settings to accomplish this. You'll only need to select a customer or job so the checkmark will show up.

 

Base on your screenshot, you'll have to select any of your customers under the Customer:job column to create a billable expense.

 

On top of that, I've got you this reference for a compilation of articles you can use while working with us: Vendors and Expense - QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

If you have any other questions, please let me know by leaving any comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.

Thank you for getting back to us and providing a screenshot, @Johnh530.

 

I'd like to bring clarifications to your concern on the billable expense feature in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac.

 

At this time, the billable feature in QBDT for Mac is only available for time entries. Thus, marking expenses or items as billable is currently unavailable. I can see how this feature would be beneficial to you and your business. For now, you can check out these resources to help you be more familiar with the features and functions available in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac:

 

 

Please let me know if you need clarification about this, or there's anything else I can do for you. I'll be standing by for your response.

Seems kind of lame to have a option on the billing area labeled billable but have that facility not operational.

Also on time and cost window there is a place to select billable expenses yet this facility is not available.

 

Really disappointed that this facility which is available with the online version and the mac desktop has a column for entry which is disabled and options to select in time and cost to select expenses yet no way to enter these.

Can someone point out how to open the approprite customer register - if I select customer I see the customer center but don't see the options listed here.   Some screenshots would be helpful.
