Billable Expenses

Hi.  We have a lot of billable expenses ie. we purchase materials/parts that are then oncharged to a customer at cost or markup. 

 

Could there be a feature added that when you are entering the purchase expense, there is a button to link through to then add to a customers invoice?

    Hi GEMonster , the link between expenses and billing is reimbursable jobs. Have a look in the jobs list; each job can be marked as reimburseable. If so marked, expenses will be accumulated for charge-out on a sales invoice, which you can see after selecting a customer name on a sales invoice, then select the "Reimburseable" option at the foot of that window.  Charges can be at cost or a mark-up.

      Mike, thanks for the reply.   This feature is useful if you use Jobs, but in our case we do not nor do we use quotes.    For us, and I am sure a number of other businesses, transfering expenses to clients would be helpful from Purchasing.

        Hi GEMonster , I understand, but you would only need one job per client I think. This is a very useful feature of jobs.
