My mark-up amounts are showing on my invoices to customers and of course I don't want that. How do I change that?

To hide MarkUp on Invoice, you will need to select box "Print selected time and costs as invoice item" at the bottom. See attached screenshot below for reference.

 

Also, copy "25lb. of ... T-shirt" description and paste it to the "Total Reimbursable Expenses" description line. That way you will see the Product name description on the Invoice.

Tried this. Still shows up on my invoice. Anything else I could be missing in settings?

I can see that the steps provided above are correct, MNGK.

 

Imagining myself as a business owner. We don't want to give our customers an idea of how much we charge on the items we sell to them. Let's check out to see why you still see your markups even if you've already disabled the option to show it up. 

 

When you add a billable expense to an invoice, the markup will show up as another line item on your view. However, it will not show up on the actual invoice that is visible to your customer. Are you still on the Invoice transaction page, or you’re now looking at the previewed or printed invoice?

 

One possible reason is you could be using a different invoice template. Please be sure to select the one which you’ve disabled the option to show markup on invoices. Click Customize on the Invoice page and select the correct template, as shown in the screenshot.

 

 

If you have other observations on your invoice or other transactions, so we can guide you to check what happened.

Hi there....We use Quickbooks Online and when we invoice we would like to show the Markup as it is all inter company invoicing.  How do we show the markup as a separate line on the invoice.  Right now it shows the markup but when we send the invoice to the client it puts everything on one line.

Welcome to the Community space, @Nikki M.

 

I am here to share some insights on how to show the markup on your invoice when sending it to your customers in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

First, you'll need to create a billable expense, here's how:

 

  1. Click the +New icon. 
  2. Choose Expense.
  3. Add the Payee's name.
  4. Select a category and enter the amount.
  5. Check the Billable box and add the customer's name.
  6. Enter the needed details.
  7. Click Save and close.

 

Once done, recreate the invoice and add the billable expense.

 

  1. Click the +New icon, then select Invoice.
  2. Choose the customer's name from your billable expense.
  3. Click the little arrow in the upper-right-hand corner.
  4. Select Add on the billable expenses.
  5. Click Save.

 

Moreover, I'm adding this helpful article as your reference in managing your expenses in recording invoice payments in QBO: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please don't hesitate to return to this post if you have other concerns in managing your invoices and expenses in QBO. I'll be here to lend a hand. Have a good one!

We are doing this now.  However, we add a markup.  When the invoice is created and sent to the client it groups the markup amount in with the original category.  We want the markup to show up as a separate line on the invoice.  So lets say we have supplies and a markup, we want the invoice to show 2 lines, one for the supplies amount and one for the markup.  That way when we get the invoice in the other company we can separate the markup from the supplies amount.
