Billable Paycheques - Can they be stopped

Carly Pike

We have a client who runs a building business. They mainly pay subcontractors and enter these expenses through the write cheques screen and choose a customer:job and class. These items are not billable, ie billable is not ticked.  They have just employed an employee and want to track customer:job and class for them also. We have job costing ticked in the payroll section but whenever we enter a customer:job/class in the payroll cheque it doesn't give an option to be billable or not.  Then if we go and create an invoice for that same customer that we put the employees paycheque to it comes up with billable time. The client just wants to track the time to the job but not have it as billable. Is there anyway to do this with paycheques??

Hi Carly

No you can't turn it off as billable as such, however, when the message first comes up that you have selected a customer with billable times when invoicing, you can chose the second option, "exclude outstanding billable" and tick the box 'save the preference'.

this will stop the warning for all billable time & costs, even if you want to use billable costs in the invoice.  But you can chose to add time/costs manually at anytime if desired, just click on the option at the bottom of the invoice.
