Hi! How to bill a chargeable expense which was originally accounted for using journal entry?

Hi AlexV (QuickBooks Team),

 

Thanks so much for the reply.  Nonetheless, it doesn't solve my problem yet.  Guess I may need to elaborate in more details so that you can understand the issue that I am facing.

 

The real scenario is as follows:

 

Company A (Holding Company) paid for staff salaries in Company B (Subsidiary) as the bank account in Company B was not set up yet.  Hence, the following journal entries in Company B's books using 'Journal' template:

 

Dr: Salaries and wages 

Cr:     Amount due to Company A (Holding Company)

 

Now, as one of the staffs in Company B was shared by the Subsidiary and another unrelated company, Company X on a 50-50 basis.  For instance, this staff earns $1k monthly.  So Company B needs to recharge and bill Company X $500 every month.

 

If the salaries and wages is booked through the 'Expense' or 'Bill' or 'Cheque' template, I can easily tick the 'Billable' column and generate the invoice to Company X accordingly.  But as the original expense was booked through the 'Journal' template, there is no such 'Billable' column to tick to recharge this expense.  So, it goes back to my query: How to bill a chargeable expense which was originally accounted for using journal entry?

 

Hope the above details illustrate well my query.  Look forward to your reply and thanks in advance again!
