Question

Need to disable billable check marks on bills!

When I enter a bill it automatically checks it as billable and I don't want that, I want to mark what I need to be billable myself.  Is there somewhere I can go in preferences or someplace else where I can uncheck it so it doesn't mark everything billable?

Hi there, @CherylAM.

 

Thanks for posting in the Community. I'm here to help share some information about the billable check mark on a bill.

 

You can uncheck all time entries and expenses as billable on the Company Preferences page. However, when entering items on a bill, it will still automatically check your billable column once you choose a Customer:Job on the drop-down arrow. You can still remove the check mark on the bill itself.

 

Here's how to unmark the billable on the Preferences:

 

  1. Go to Edit menu and select Preferences.
  2. Choose Time & Expenses on the left-side panel.
  3. Click the Company Preferences folder.
  4. Make sure to uncheck the Mark all time entries as billable and Mark all expenses as billable box.
  5. Once done, click OK.

 

This will disable the automatic billable check mark once you entered expenses on your bill. 

 

If you enter items on a bill, just make sure to uncheck the billable column if you enter the customer job. 

 

This should help point you in the right direction.

Is there a way to locate the bills entered that were accidentally marked as billable to correct them?

Thanks for joining this conversation, @LeahC11.

 

Let's work together running and customizing the Unbilled Costs report. It will help us locate the bills entered that were accidentally marked as billable.

  1. On the top menu, click Reports.
  2. Choose Customers and Receivables.
  3. Select Unbilled Costs by Job.
  4. Customize the date period.
  5. Scan through the list. Click the Amount link to open the transaction.
  6. Uncheck the Billable box.
  7. Click Save & Close to save the changes.

That's it! Keep me posted if you have other report questions. I'm still here to help you more. Have a wonderful day ahead!
