Billable Expenses - Show Bills that have and haven't been assigned as billable expenses
To have a list that shows bills that have and haven’t been assigned to billable expenses.
Purpose: Users can easily identify which bills that have and haven’t been assigned to billable expenses.

Hi everyone, we appreciate the importance of being able to view and understand where billable expenses have and haven't been assigned. While we have keen eyes on the idea here, with other big pieces of work on the go we want to be open that this is not in the roadmap atm.
We want you to know we're taking on board all your feedback here, and will continue to stay across this, and keep you updated of any news or progress that'll improve visibility for your needs here.

Thanks Rebekah Green and Andrew Sharatt. We do use those categories on our jobs. Unless I'm missing something though (possible!), these categories don't actually tell me whether the expense has been recorded as a billable expense to the customer and so we're back to manually checking line items whether it's before invoicing (say using AP summaries) or after invoicing (say using AR summaries). The requested report would only identify anything not assigned to a customer as a billable expense, otherwise I don't know it's going to appear as a billable expense when I generate my invoices.

I use the Accounting/Reports/Payables and receivables/Billable Expenses outstanding report.
I created categories for tenants/customers and this can be added as a column to other reports - such as the Aged Payables and Account Transactions reports. However, I need to create and save these as custom reports so that the additional column showing the tenant/customer remains on the report each time I run them.

Every expense not assigned is a direct loss to the business.
As Jade points out -just add an 'assigned customer' column. -

Agree with this - reconciling whether you've captured all billable expenses is very time consuming at the moment.

This would be a helpful feature

Surely it wouldnt be hard to add a column in the reports to show the expense has been billed to someone?
A lot of time wasted having to manually check everything... -

Crucially important if you are running a cost plus margin business

This would be helpful. There is currently no way to check to verify expenses have been billed without opening up every single expense or bill manually to see if it's been assigned to a customer.
