"Unbillable" charges

Hi, 

We have a client who is "on contract" in that the company owner is doing a remodel for a set contract amount. Because of this, when I enter charges for bills we receive for supplies and services related to this job, I un-check the "billable" box when I enter a bill. I do not want those unchecked charges flowing to the Invoice where I will bill for "extras" the client has ordered over and above the contract amount. Now I need to know the entire cost of the job including the charges we are not billing to the client. When I run a job costs report it only seems to show those charges I have left the check mark on, as those charges are "extras" they have requested over and above the contract amount as noted above. Where can I find ALL charges for bills and services regardless of whether the billable box was checked or not? I hope this makes sense!! 

Thank you for your help!

Hello! Still working on this...  There's no "purchases by item detail" report in my QB Online version - only Purchases by Location Detail, Product/Service Detail & Vendor Detail. Also - on any of those report pages, there's not "display detail" option.  Thx, L.

The Purchases by Item Detail report is only available in the Desktop version, L. Although, you can pull up the Purchases by Product/Service Detail report instead. 

 

This will show the same information shown in the Item Detail report. Here's how to pull it up:

  1. Click Reports.
  2. Enter Purchases by Product/Service Detail in the Find report by name field.

I'll attach a screenshot of both reports to show you their similarity. 

 

 

You can also customize the report. This will help you add or exclude some rows and columns. 

 

We'd be happy to lend a hand if there's anything else that you need.

The Purchases by Product/Service Detailreport is only available in the Plus version of QBO, ljballay.

 

You might want to upgrade your subscription if you have Simple Start or Essentials to be able to run the report.

 

Follow these steps on how you can change your plan:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
  2. Proceed to the Billing & Subscription tab.
  3. Click the Upgrade link beside the QuickBooks Online section.
  4. Select Plus, then click Upgrade.
  5. Confirm your payment information and select Save.

Let me know if you need anything else. We're always here to answer your question and help you sort it out.

JenoP,

I have QBO Plus and the report you reference is not coming up in my find reports search.  Can you provide a screen shot of exactly where the report is located in the list of reports? 
My company provides services and we like to track how much money we are spending on a particular customer even though we have no intention of billing them, so we attribute certain expenses to customers but don't mark them as billable.
So, we want to see how much money we are investing/spending on each customer.  Which report in QBO Plus will give us that?
Thanks!

I am also not seeing this report. When I type in "purchases" I don't see any reports. I have tried in the QBO app as well as in Chrome. We have QBO Plus.

Thanks for joining us here, bpbooks7.

 

I checked your screenshot and it looks like it's not something from QBO. I also removed it from this thread because it contains your email address and a transaction ID. 

 

We'd also like to take a closer look at your account to determine why you're not seeing the report both in the app and in the web version. Please follow these steps on how to reach out to them:

 

  1. Click the Help menu and select Contact Us.
  2. Let them know that you're not able to see the Purchases by Product/Service Detail report, then click Let's talk.
  3. Click Get a callback.
  4. You also have the option to click Message an agent if you want a chat agent instead.

Hi there - as far as I can see there is no 'billing status' filter in any of the quickbooks online reports. This means it is not possible to track any expenses assigned to a client or project that were not ticked billable when they were posted, which seems a fairly significant omission. Please can you confirm this is the case, or have I missed something? 

 

Thank you.

Hello, cotswoldprop. 

 

Entering billable expenses is currently available in the Plus and Advanced versions of QuickBooks Online. If you subscribe to either of the two plans. You'll need to turn on the billable expense. Once done, you can enter a billable expense to a customer. You'll need to select the Billable checkbox so when you run a report it will be displayed in the report. 

 

I've got these articles to learn more about managing reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO):
