Mark an expense or vendor bill as billable by default

Good day, Grace.

That is correct. You'll have the option to set up your preference to mark all expenses as billable by default in QuickBooks Desktop. I'm sure it will save you time if QuickBooks Online is set up in the same way.

The two platforms use this functionality in slightly different ways. You can add billable expenses to the invoice in QBO by checking the Billable checkbox. 

Additionally, this will be a fantastic addition to upcoming product improvements. I recommend submitting your idea through QuickBooks. This ensures that our Product Development team will receive your request and review it. They can include it in the next updates if it is approved.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Select Feedback.
3. Enter your product suggestion.
4. Hit Next to submit.

You can look through some of the topics on our Help Article page for more guidance as you work with your expense and vendor transactions in the future.
