When creating an invoice for a billable expense, how do I get the documentation to populate on the invoice?

For the last several years when I created an invoice to my customer for billable expenses (expenses I paid on behalf of my customer), my backup documentation also populated as an attachment on the invoice.  It is not populating now.  My customer needs the documentation as proof that I paid the expense.  What has changed??  How do I get the documentation that I saved when I paid the expense to populate on the invoice as it has in years past?

This issue is already under investigation, dawnjohnson.

 

We have an ongoing investigation about the attachments for billable expenses not flowing to the invoice. Please know that our engineer is currently working on it. We appreciate your patience as we investigate this further.

 

For now, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Support Team so that they can add you to the list of the affected users. This way, you'll get notified once there's a fix or an update about this issue.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. On your company file, go to the Help menu.
  2. Select Contact Us.
  3. Enter your concern, then select Let's Talk.
  4. Choose a way to connect with us:
  • Start a chat with a support expert.
  • Get a callback from the next available expert.

 

This article shows their support hours: QuickBooks Online Support.

 

Here are some resources to help you record customer payments and manage attachments for customer and vendor profiles:

Has a fix been rolled out for this? I bill my clients on a Cost-Plus basis, so providing receipts is absolutely necessary.
