Invoices - Add billable expenses to invoices to part-paid invoices
I would like a feature added so that we can add a billable expense to an Invoice even though a payment has been made by customer. It is crazy that you have to delete a deposit from a client so that you can then add a billable expense to the invoice for tracking. Customers pay a deposit then goods are ordered for their job.

This is needed otherwise the outstanding billable expense report rapidly becomes meaningless.

Do Xero actually read or respond to these submissions?
Being unable to allocate a billable expense that arrives after an invoice is paid makes the billable expense report useless. Surely there is at least a work around for this?

This is a simple change that would provide more control over customer invoicing and saves a great deal of time if invoices get out of sync.

Even just being able to mark billable expenses as invoiced (ideally referencing the invoice but I could live without that) would be great - The new outstanding billable expenses report is really good for finding the outstanding billable expenses but it's currently useless because there are so many where the invoice was manually created and not linked with the billable expense.

I am also in favour of this feature. Would love to be able mark it against an invoice that is already paid. My scenario is that multiple people creating invoices don't always add expenses to the invoice correctly - going back to fix it in the round about way is not optimal.

I agree, its very time consuming to have to adjust the customer invoice later to add the billable expense for tracking purposes.
