Actual for You - How to Record Reimbursable Expenses in QuickBooks
Tis the season when we are wracked with indecision on who to buy for and what to buy. We don’t want to insult anyone, but neither do we want to bust our budgets. Here are some of my thoughts on this dilemma.First of all, this is not a competition or at least it should not be one. The largest or most expensive gift is not always the one most appreciated.Make a list – a short list. Your gift giving list should include your immediate boss and perhaps those co-workers you think of as friends. If this gets uncomfortable because of y

Managing a business entails a wide variety of responsibilities and project managers have to be up to the task. Fortunately, there are Business Process Management technologies in place to help processes run more smoothly. However, Six Sigma does more than just help processes run more smoothly. Six Sigma is a methodology. It allows for continuous of improvement of processes, on a project-by-project basis.Implementing Six Sigma into your business takes a high level of commitment, because it does not go project-to-project.

Method 1 - The Expense Tab/Expense Account Method: When recording an expense incurred for the customer, click the Expenses tab from the Write Checks or Enter Bills screen, select the appropriate expense account, select the appropriate customer, and do not check the column with the invoice icon above it. Save the transaction. You can now generate an invoice for the customer, and drop the transaction into the invoice after clicking the Time/Costs button.
Problem with this Method: Using this method causes the expense account to be credited when the invoice is generated for the customer. This lowers the expense account rather than increasing a sales/revenue account. The net result is the same for the bottom line, but this makes it impossible to determine a margin, and makes the expense account seem lower than it actually is.

In a previous article (How One Builder "Made the Most Money I've Ever Made") I wrote how a builder dealt with his resistance to raising prices and properly charging for all the work he performed to create his most financially successful year ever.The one of the greatest points to that article is those changes came at little-or-no cost to him, neither in time or money. Virtually all the increased revenue from implementing those strategies will translate directly into profits for that builder!Along the sa

Compassion is one of five principles of the Skilled Facilitator approach. (It's also one of the four core values of the approach.) I have already written about the other four principles: curiosity, commitment, accountability, and transparency.Compassion means temporarily suspending judgment so that you can appreciate others' perspectives or situations when they are different from your own. To be compassionate you need to be genuinely concerned about the other person or people's needs. You need to think about and feel it from their perspec

Crude oil prices softened a bit in October but remained firm around US$61-63 per barrel. They have fallen by almost US$10 per barrel from the peak of US$70.85 hit in end-August. The fall has come as a boon for many fuel consuming industries and textiles in particular. The entire synthetic fibre industry, almost depend on petroleum products for raw material inputs. In October, WTI Spot, averaged US$62.4 per barrel and was 17% higher than last year. During the first 10 months of 2005, oil prices were higher by 38% averaging US$56.1 per barrel.

Method 2 - The Expense Tab/Cost Account Method: Similar to Method 1, click the Expenses tab from the Write Checks or Enter Bills screen when entering an expense for a customer. Instead of selecting an expense account, select a COGS account. Then select the appropriate customer. Notice that the little invoice icon on the far right side of the screen does not appear.
Problem with this Method: It creates unbillable “Unbilled Costs.” These will show on the Unbilled Costs report, but when the Time/Costs button is clicked on the Invoice screen, they do not appear in that window. In other words, these will remain, forever, on the Unbilled Costs report ,and can never be dropped into a customer's invoice.
Method 3 - The Items Tab Method: Go to the Items list, and create a new Other Charge item. Click the box that says, "This item is used in assemblies or is a reimbursable charge." This sets up the item so it can be used effectively on the Write Checks/Enter Bills screen, and the
