Choose Yes, to continue with back up, otherwise choose No. The Global Settings provides the option of a Backup Files Reminder.

BillQuick expense entry has two separate attributes:

• Billable/Non- Billable
• Reimbursable/ Non-Reimbursable

If an expense entry is billable, then BillQuick will bill it to the client with the assigned markup. Thus, the client shall reimburse the company for it. Non-billable expense is that which a company has to absorb as a part of the contract and will not be billed to the client. In addition to that, you can also mark an expense entry as reimbursable. It is incurred on a project and is reimbursable to the employee. Non-reimbursable expense will not be reimbursable to the employee. An expense entry marked as 'Reimbursable' in BillQuick may not always be billable to the client. E.g., You may want to reimburse your employee for mileage but not bill the client.

The best solution would be to use one of the Custom fields in the Project screen and have that printed on your invoice. You will have to customize the invoice template using Crystal Reports or have our Report Customization Team do it for you.

Data integration between BillQuick and QuickBooks is seamless and comprehensive. Master information, time entries, invoices, payments, etc. can all sync between the two applications, including expenses and vendor bills entered in QuickBooks. These items can be reviewed, approved and included on invoices sent to a client for easier tracking. It is better to attach digital copies of receipts, bills or other files to BillQuick invoices and then sync them with QuickBooks. When you email the invoices, the files are added automatically as attachments (along with the PDF copy of the invoice). If you print an invoice with attachments, the files are printed with the invoice.

Estimates and budgets are important features in BillQuick. They represent line item listings of services and expenses along with their respective hours, units and rates. You can convert estimates (bid proposals) into internal budgets, and vice versa. BillQuick includes standard estimate report formats. You can also have a custom report created for the desired proposal template.
