When creating invoices from billable expenses it puts the cost on the invoice and not the sales rate. How do I get the invoice to show the sales rate that I put on the PO when billing a customer? Quickbooks Enterprise Desktop

I create a PO with the cost and the sales rate and then when the actual bill comes I select that PO.  It will then have the customer who is suppose to get billed for it and it shows up as a billable expense for that customer.

When I go to make an invoice for that customer and choose the billable expense it puts the cost on the invoice not the sales rate how do I get this to show sales rate and not your cost.

To ensure the correct sales rate appears on your invoice, you’ll need to verify the item’s sales price in the Item List before creating and sending the invoice to your customer, midwestgirl.

 

QuickBooks pulls the sales rate for invoices from the item's setup in the Item List, rather than using the amounts entered on the PO or bill. With this, you'll have to ensure the items are properly set up in the Item List with accurate cost and sales price values. This way, QuickBooks automatically pulls the appropriate sales price while invoicing billable expenses. Here's how:

 

  1. In your QBDT Enterprise company file, go to the List menu and select Item List.
  2. Locate the item you are billing the customer for and double-click it to open its details.
  3. Ensure that both Cost and Sales Price are properly set.
  4. Click OK80.png

 

After that, create and send the invoice for the billable expense. 

 

Alternatively, you can manually adjust the sales rate by editing it directly on the invoice before sending it to your customer. This works if you only need to make occasional changes.
