How to invoice not using billable transactions, but single fee for project, what happens to the billable items?

I need to enter all the expenses and contractor time as billable so that the owner can easily see the project totals of income (deposits) and Cost of Goods total to allow final billing.  Do not move the billable items to the invoice as we don't invoice by that amount, it is where he does a flat fee including any markup.

How to invoice not using billable transactions, but single fee for project, what happens to the billable items?

Hi there, @morrillweaver.

 

Once you make your project expenses and timesheets billable, they will automatically show as Add to new invoices. 

 

If you don't want to attach them to an invoice, simply ignore the Add button. Please know that they will still appear once you select the customer that whom the billable expense is created.

 

If the project fee is included when creating the billable transactions, then they will be also charged to your clients. You can record it separately so it won't be included in billable items.

 

In case you need further help in recording your transactions, reach out to your accountant for further advice. That way, they can provide you with guidance in making sure your books are accurate. 

 

For more info, you can check out this article: How to invoice your customers for billable expenses and timesheets.

 

Should you have any follow-up questions or concerns, don't hesitate to post again here in the Community or leave a comment on this thread. Take care and have a good one.

Hi @morrillweaver,

Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about the invoice billable concern you had the other week. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification?

 

If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at anytime. Looking forward to your reply.

Have a pleasant day ahead!
