Bill - Create Billable Expenses from a customer invoice
I request xero development team to edit the billable expense feature or create a new feature. Currently for billable expense to be invoiced to customer, first we need to enter the billable expense and than later invoice to customer. However, in our case, we first send the customer a tax invoice to collect advance from customer and than make spending for the expenses on behalf of customer. However, in this case we can not make sure or link within xero what was invoiced to customer and how much was spent against that invoice. I mean if we the invoice for disbursement/billable expense was raised at $100 and actual spent later was $110, than it becomes difficult to reconcile these out of xero or manually. This becomes even more difficult when the no of transactions are large. This feature is available in other softwares however, as we are using xero since inception, so request xero development team to provide us this feature. The main difference from existing billable expense to invoice will be that in this scenario, invoice will be issued first and the billable expense will be matched with invoice later. While currently xero has facility to assign an expense a billable while entering the bill first and than issue the invoice afterwards.

This process is very much critical to our business processes and is taking a lot of time and effort to reconcile the expense with invoices manually.
