Under PO want to select items that are billable?

Hi there, 

Glad to have you reach out to the Community. I'll be happy to help answer your question about Purchase Orders and billable expenses.

Here's how to enter a billable expense: 

Enabling Billable Expenses

1. If you haven't already, enable the Billable setting by clicking the Gear icon (⚙) and selecting Account and Settings.
2. Navigate to the Expenses tab and click the Bills and Expenses section.
3. Check the box to Make expenses and items billable and fill out the settings that appear below.
4. Click Save and then Done.

Doing this will add a Billable column to all expense transactions so they can be carried forward into an invoice and sent to your customers. Now, assuming you've already created the purchase order, attach it to a bill like so:

Attaching a Purchase Order to a Bill

1. From QuickBooks Online, click the Plus (+) icon and select Bill.
2. Select the same vendor you chose on the Purchase Order. An Add to bill menu will appear on the right side.
3. Under the PO you need to attach, select Add. Fill out the rest of the Vendor Bill as needed.
4. If these billed items will be included on a customer invoice, check the box under the Billable column and select a name under Customer.
5. Click Save and close.

This will ensure you record and receive the items you're purchasing on the PO. Lastly, add these billable items to a customer invoice with the instructions below:

Adding Billable Items to a Customer Invoice

1. From QuickBooks Online, click the Plus (+) icon and select Invoice.
2. Select the same customer you chose in Step 4 of steps above. An Add to Invoice menu will appear on the right side.
3. Under the Billable Expense you need to attach, select Add. Fill out the rest of the Invoice as needed.
4. Click Save and close.

By following these steps, you'll add your PO to a Bill and then bill the items to a customer via the invoice you're creating for them.
