Billable Expense

@Automechanic 

"When I enter the Vendor Bill, I record the Non-Inventory Part. I then check billable to Customer X."

If you're billing your customers with markup, you should enable that setting from the company settings. That way you will see the billable box as well as markup box when entering vendor expenses.

Note: This feature is available only in the Plus plan and Advanced plan.

Hope this helps!

I understand and I have seen that option. 

However, as stated, each item is not a "SET %" being marked up.

I have seen that option and I understand.

However, as stated above, each item is different, there is not a "SET Markup %".

Hello, @Automechanic.  

Please allow me to join the thread and help share information about Billable Expense. When you check the billable option, that means you want to charge it to your client. We'll have to make sure that you've ticked the billable check box for every item to show the markup %. You can read this article to know more about billable expenses. 

If the same thing happens, we can perform some troubleshooting steps. There are times that the browser is full of frequently accessed page resources, causing some unusual responses. We can start by accessing your account in a private browser. This mode doesn't save your searches, visited pages, log in details, and cookies. 

Here's are the shortcut keys:    

• Ctrl + Shift + P (Internet Explorer or Firefox)
• Command + Shift + N (Safari)
• Ctrl+ Shift + N (Google Chrome) 

Once signed in, let's try log on to QBO and run an expense again to double-check it.   

If everything looks fine, go back to your regular browser and perform a clear cache. Every so often the cache becomes overwhelmed with older data, which can potentially cause viewing and performance issues. Clearing it will refresh the system, and you'll be able to work with clean trash. However, if the issue persists, try using other supported browsers.    

Please let me know how it goes by clicking the Reply button. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Have a great day!

If there no set markup % and they vary from customer to customer, that's fine. You just select Markup and leave the % field blank. When you enter an expense, you select markup field and choose % by line item.

Thanks everyone for the input.

Here is my confusion, by looking at this invoice.

Customer X has purchased a part.    When inputting the expense, I tagged this customer as billable.

When I create the invoice, customer X's billable charges comes up on the right side.

When I select add, the first line is the result of adding the billable charge.

If I just add the product to Customer X invoice, as evidenced by the second line it charges customer X the correct amount.

I guess I should not click billable to customer X and invoice independently.

Thanks for the response back, @Automechanic.
