Reimbursable expenses

Sometimes I bill my clients for expenses incurred when doing business for them- such as marketing materials I order on their behalf. I enter it as a seperate line item on the invoice as a "Reimbursable Expense". Another line item would be for my consulting services. When I receive total payment, the total usually breaks down and matches itself to where it belongs- some dollars to the consulting fee and some to the remibursable expense. Twice lately, it is not matching properly therefore leaving me with what looks like unpaid expenses in my reimbursable expense report. I am receiving payments the same way for all clients, yet sometimes it matches properly and sometimes it doesn't. What am I missing? Thanks.

It's great to have you here in the Community, @CarolCromack.

 

I'm here to help you match the payments to the correct transactions. 

 

First off, you may manually use the Match feature in Banking to link the transactions together. Here's how:

 

  1. On your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, go to Banking.
  2. Select the tile for the account you want to match and click the Match option in the Action column.

 

Please refer to this article for a more detailed guide on how to put transactions to the correct accounts: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

You may also review the transactions you created to ensure that you entered the correct details for billable expenses.

I realize now I didn't match properly and should have done a split transaction. There is an option on the screen to "undo". (Is that ok to do even after a few months have passed? What happens if I click "undo"?
