Reimbursement Items question - QUICKBOOKS PLUS

Let me provide you a few information about this, TIMORLANG.

You're actually doing the right process. You'll want to make sure that you're selecting the same account for your transactions as what you have in your banking category. If you want to use Reimbursable Expense, you should have categorized it with the same account until you invoice it to your client. 

If it is showing a different account in your banking, you'll want to edit it to the correct account. Find, Review, And Edit Transactions In Account Registers.

I also recommend reaching out to your accountant for other ways on how to do it. Your accountant can also give an overview and details of what happens. 

Here's an article handy if you want to add and match bank transactions in QuickBooks Online: Categorize And Match Online Bank Transactions In QuickBooks Online.

Thank you for your response.

Yes, in the banking register they are listed as Reimbursable Expenses as well as when I put them in the invoice, I use the same exact category (this way they can cancel each other - I get that). 

What I do not understand is why when I choose reimbursable expense on the invoice side, it changes the price to $0? Is that so people can upcharge and charge whatever they want for what they buy on behalf of clients?

This is why I believe I am doing something wrong.  

Or do I need to place the expense (on the bank side / CC side) as hardware for example and just make sure to check the billable checkbox?

Thanks for getting back to us, TIMORLANG.
