If you're creating a detail job, you can indicate whether you want to track the job's reimbursable expenses that you'll incur during the course of completing the job. (Getting reimbursed for job expenses)
If you choose to mark the Track Reimbursables selection, you'll then link the job to a specific customer, so you'll be able to track who owes you for your reimbursable expenses.
An example of tracking reimbursables
Say you've marked the Track Reimbursables for Job 01, and you've chosen Edgar Reuss in the Linked Customer field. During the course of working on Job 01, you purchase some items to complete the job for Edgar Reuss.
When you enter this purchase in the Purchases window, you'll assign the line items on that purchase to Job 01. Then, when you record the purchase, the line items you assigned to Job 01 will automatically be marked for reimbursement by Edgar Reuss.
When you're ready to enter a sale for Edgar Reuss, you'll click the Reimburse button in the Sales window. These reimbursables will then appear in the Customer Reimbursable Expenses window.
