Hi guys, I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I have made some purchases from my own cash on behalf of a client. I've entered these on cheque under the account Reimbursed Expenses and then given the relevant customer/job name. I've done this:
Item > New > Service. Called it "item purchased for client" and made it a sub-item of Consulting. It's under the account "reimbursed expenses".
However, when I then go to enter an invoice for that client and select time/costs, there are no expenses listed for that client.
I tried entering the purchase cheque as an item rather than an expense, but then I get the message "this item is associated with an expense account". But if I override that warning, that purchase does show up under time/costs as an item on the client's invoice.
So I guess my question really is: when entering purchases made on behalf of clients, should I enter them as items or expenses? I'd really appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance, Jo
