How do I track mileage for specific jobs that are not billed to customer? Desktop version was very simple with a dropdown box with customer list to assign the mileage to.

Hi, @KK14985. I'm here to help.

 

Mileage tracking in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is currently limited to recording business miles driven for vehicles and does not include the option to link them to projects or jobs like in QuickBooks Desktop. For now,  you can generate a bill within the respective project and mark it as billable to the customer, utilizing the data from the mileage tracker.

 

For managing vehicle expenses, you can consider establishing a dedicated account in the Chart of Accounts, if such an account does not exist yet. I suggest  consulting your account to ensure this is set up in alignment with your financial management practices.

 

Additionally, in QBO, you can automatically track mileage using the mobile app. To learn more about this, you can check out this article: Set up vehicles and mileage tracking in QuickBooks Online to use with the mobile app.

 

Should you need further clarification or additional support regarding the mileage tracking feature in QBO or any other inquiries, feel free to let us know in the Community. We'll do our best to assist. Stay safe.
