    Hi  ,

    Welcome to Sage! To enter an expense that is billable to a client, you'll want to create a new line item on your invoice for that expense. Here's how you can do it:

    1. Go to the invoice you are working on or create a new one.
    2. Add a new line item with a description, such as "Billable Expense - [Description of Expense]".
    3. Enter the amount you are charging in the 'Amount' column.
    4. Select the appropriate ledger account for the expense. For instance, if it's a credit card merchant fee, you might choose an account similar to 'Credit Card Merchant Fees'.
    5. Make sure to set the tax rate appropriately if the expense is taxable.

    Remember to not select any taxes if the expense shouldn't have taxes applied, as shown in the example of the credit card merchant fees in the screenshot. You can also customize your invoice template, document preferences, and more under the 'Settings' tab to reflect these expenses as needed.

    If you haven't already, please check out our articles on Invoice Customization in Sage Accounting for a detailed walkthrough.
