To create a placeholder item

Jobs > Using Jobs > Using Jobs > Getting reimbursed for job expenses > Tip #2: Use a "placeholder item" to track reimbursements on item sales > To create a placeholder item

The Items List window should be displayed. (To find the Items List window)

  1. Click New to open the Item Information window.
  2. When you create the item, enter an item number and name (we suggest you give the item a name and number of "Job Item" so the purpose of the item is easy for you to remember).
  3. Mark the I Sell This Item selection only-leave the I Buy This Item and the I Inventory This Item selections blank. Review the income account that appears next to the I Sell This Item selection; if you want to use another account to track income from reimbursements, enter or select that account.
  4. Click OK.

You can now use the placeholder item to track your reimbursable job expenses on item sales.
