What if the markup option is not available in my settings?

Hello there, Ken Zagone,

This option is only available for QuickBoosk Online Plus and Advanced. You might want to check out that version if you need the markup option.

Check this article to know more about billable expenses: Enter billable expenses.

I'll be here if you have additional questions. I'd love to help you more.

Is there a way to change the markup from a percentage amount to a dollar amount?

Is there a way to change the markup option from percentage to a dollar amount?

Hi there, @tsanders-llc.

Currently, the option to enter the dollar amount instead of the percentage in the markup percentage amount is unavailable. As a workaround, you can calculate the percentage base on the amount you want to input. I've added a screenshot to know how to calculate it.

You can also use a percentage calculator if you want to get the percentage right away. 

I've added this reference page about managing your vendors for your future tasks: Expenses and vendors in QuickBooks Online.
