I moved from QB desktop to QB Online. I am running the Essentials program. When running on QB desktop I was able to attach vendor expenses to customers. It was only for tracking so we did not actual 'bill' these expenses.
Now that I am using Online Essentials, these unbilled expenses show up. I can not make old customer accounts INACTIVE until those expenses are billed. I have these as old as 2017. How do I get rid of the unbilled expenses?
I attached screen shots of what I am seeing.

I don't have the option of choosing if these are billed or not.
I am running the Essentails program. These are charges that came over when I uploaded my desktop file to the online version.
In the desktop I had the option of making invoices billable but we did not actually bill the customer. it was just a way of tracking expenses for a job when reporting. So they were never billed.
If I were to 'bill' the charges, would it affect my reporting?
