I've got your back, @useralllogicallogist.

 

You can record a billable expense to let your customer pay on your invoices. Here's how to do it:

 

First off, you'll want to turn on the feature in your QuickBooks Online (QBO). Please know that this feature is only available in the QBO Plus version.

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Go to the Expenses tab.
  3. Select the Bills and expenses section, then turn on the Make expenses and items billable option.
  4. Click Save, then Done.

After turning on the option, you can now enter a billable expense.

 

  1. Click the + New button, then select either BillExpense, or Check.
  2. Enter the necessary information.
  3. Put a checkmark in the box under the Billable column and choose the customer from the Customer/Project column.
  4. Hit Save and close.

Once done, you'll have to link the billable expense to your customer's invoice. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the + New button, then select Invoice.
  2. Select the customer from the drop-down.
  3. In the Add to Invoice section, find the Billable expense and select Add.
  4. Hit Save and close.

I'm adding this article for more guidance: Enter billable expenses.

 

Please let me know if you need clarification about this, or there's anything else I can do for you. I'll be standing by for your response. Have a great day.
