Manual allocations

I created an account that acts like a “Recharge” account, where I post payments I made on behalf of clients and then when they pay me, I enter the payment split between the Accounts Receivable (for services rendered) and this account too (for payments made on their behalf).
Now I want to know how can I allocate the receipts against the payments I made.
I created this account under a New Group under the Assets in the Balance Sheet.

Have you tried out Billable Expenses - this would seem to cover the needs of your “Recharge” account?

Read the Guides:

I tried it, but it asks for hours and chargeable time while I need to put in details and a value.
It did not work for me. Thanks anyway for your interest

@Vince_Mercieca, you are describing billable time, not billable expenses. While they are invoiced in similar ways, they are completely different things. You did not visit the links I provided to you in post #3.

Thanks for your reply, however I do not have the ‘Billable Expence’ choice but only ‘Billible time’ see screenshot

It’s in Settings:

@Tut the guide you referred @Vince_Mercieca to at Record billable expenses | Manager is old, it still has Billable Expense as a Customizable function and not one in Settings. I would advise to modify this guide to reflect the new reality.

In the settings it is ENABLED, however it still does not appear in the Customize setting list.

Sorry for being a pain …

I don’t think it works like that anymore - search the forum for Billable Expenses

Now follow the guides indicated by @Tut, i.e., select the Billable Expense account in, e.g., a Purchase Invoice.

It’s recommended trying things out in a test business. And, as the forum rules demand, you should start by searching the forum and the guides.

@Mark in this case @Vince_Mercieca was using the guides which should be first call but for Billable expense it is outdated.

I know, but that’s why I copied the part that still holds true. Another part that still holds true is the Uninvoiced column in the Customers tab. With a little bit of out-of-the-box thinking and trying out one can find that out by oneself. :wink:

I agree that the instructions are outdated as what was shown in the instructions as examples did not match what I had on my screen.

Although in the settings the Billible Expenses is activated, I still cannot find it in the Custimazation section

Read the responses to your questions, @Vince_Mercieca. It is not in Customization any longer. @Mark illustrated exactly where it is in post #7 above.
