How Do I get Rid of the Reimb Group Item when invoicing a customer? I do not want the billable items grouped and I have researched but it seems there is supposed to be a box I need to uncheck but I do not have that box.

Hello, mdyork.

 

I'd be glad to help you manage your billable items and prevent it from grouping under the Reimb Group item. 

 

When selecting the billable items in batch, QuickBooks will always group them under "Reimb Group" item. Though, we can prevent QuickBooks from grouping the items by selecting the billable expenses one at a time. 

 

When you invoice, we'll want to select the first item we want to add (the prompt appears to add the billable items). After adding, click on the Add Time/Cost on the invoice form to include another billable item. 

 

Regarding the box that you mentioned, I take it that you're referring to the Print selected time and costs as one invoice item box. This shows on the Add Time/Cost window popup when you select a customer for invoicing. 

 

What this does is that on the print preview, the billable items will show as a single item instead of an itemized view on the form. The "Reimb Group" item will still show however. Here's a comparison if you toggle it off and on:

Though, it would save us a lot of time if we could toggle the option to group billable items or not (without adding it one at a time). We can send feedback to our developers regarding this option.

 

They'll read the inputs and might consider it for future improvements in QuickBooks. To send feedback: 

 

  1. Click the Help menu.

Thank you so much for your input!  Next question.............  When I invoices these expenses to the customer, such as a cost from a drywall subcontractor, why is the GL result a credit to the COGS account instead of a credit to the income account?
