I'd be happy to assist you with enabling the customer header when entering vendor bills for payments, Suburbanwindowfashion.

 

To link vendor bills to customers and effectively monitor profit and loss by job in QuickBooks Online, we need to enable or turn on the billable expense feature.

 

Here are the steps to follow:

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙, then select Account and settings.
  2. Navigate to the Expenses tab.
  3. In the Bills and expenses section, click Edit.
  4. Turn on the following options:
    • Show Items table on expense and purchase forms
    • Track expenses and items by customer
    • Make expenses and items billable.

 

Once you’ve enabled billable expenses, you can enter billable expenses and link them to customers. This way, you’ll be able to see profit and loss by job.

 

For a comprehensive understanding of the process, I recommend referring to this article: Enter and manage bills and bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

In addition, you can also check out this article for more information on running reports on all paid to a vendor for the year: Run a report with vendor totals.
