After 3 years of struggling with hugely time consuming rebilling of expenses I cannot believe there is not an easier way. Please tell me I am not wasting unnecessary time.
At the start of each month, I create a new invoice for the client. On a daily basic I record the hours I work and reasons.
Quite often, I have to travel and all expenses I incur once I leave home are billable with receipts directly to the client. At the end of the year, I should only pay tax on hours work.
I scan receipts as I get them and with dropbox integration, they are imported to the reciept hub. I document them and they end up in purchases which I classify as ‘Cost of sales - client expenses’ as advised years ago. This is fine.
However, its a real pain now to manually add all the expenses (sometimes in a month there can be 100) to the client invoice. ‘Rebill to client’ does not work as I cannot add to an existing invoice in progress. I then have to manually add existing file reciepts (I search on date filenames I create before uploading). It takes hours to do this each month.
I keep following up a feature request to be able to rebill purchases to an existing invoice but apparently there is no demand for this feature.
I cannot be the only one who works like this. Is my workflow wrong? Is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance from a frustrated user.
