Re-invoicing Expense

Re-invoicing is required when the particular expense is for a customer, like any of our employees visited the customer site for any customer requested services. Thus, in such cases companies can re-invoice the amount to customer.

If the expense is for our own company purpose, then set ‘no’ to re-invoice expense.

At cost means the company is invoicing the exact expense  amount to the customer and Sales price means the company can add a profit margin to the expense cost and invoice it to customer.

Setting of Cost

Setting of cost will depends on the nature of the expense. Some time some companies will fix a particular amount to reimbursed. For an example,

Travel with Personal Car:

Cost: 0.30 (the price per mile reimbursed by the company is fixed)

But sometimes employees need to report the real cost per expense. Like restaurant bill and hotel bills. In such cases kept the cost as 0.
