Hello, I have a question on rebillable expenses. Is there a way to rebill expenses that were booked in one subsidiary (A) to a customer from another subsidiary (B)? We have Vendor Bills that come through from Concur from subsidiary A but they need to be billed to customers from subsidiary B. What we are doing right now is to do intercompany transactions. But even after billing through that, the expenses still show on the Unbilled Cost By Customer report. How does it get dropped off from that report? Help!

Does it only show for 1 of the subsidiaries
e
@AI1 yes that is correct
a
Sorry does it still show only for subsidiary A then?
e
@AI1 correct subsidiary A which is the employee's subsidiary. The employee is entering a Concur expense as a Vendor Bill in subsidiary A. But the Billable Customer is from subsidiary B.

I think the way NetSuite wants you to do it is make a SO to Invoice the billable expense to Subsidiary B from Subsidiary A. And a PO for Subsidiary B to “buy” the expense from Subsidiary A. This would use the paired Intercompany PO/SO process So the original Vendor Bill from Concur should be able to be billable too the Customer that represents Subsidiary B
Or you can try to do it using an Advanced Intercompany JE that would allow you to move the billable expense from Sub A to Sub B in one transaction
Lastly you could try to enable “Allow Intercompany Time and Expense” but that will circumvent the Intercompany eliminations process so I'm not sure if your finance team will be okay with that

We tried the intercompany cross charge but the bill still shows on the Unbilled Cost by Customer report and we don't know how to clear that...

Does the original bill have a project/customer assigned to the line item?
e
Correct. So the Billable checkbox is checked on the line item and we assigned the customer (subsidiary B). We had to add subsidiary A on the customer record (their primary subsidiary is B) so that they show up as a billable customer on the vendor bill (vendor's primary subsidiary is A)

Try making an invoice in Sub A but to the customer Sub B for the billable expenses AND a matching Vendor Bill in Sub B to the Vendor Sub A (with the billable checkbox checked and the customer assigned to the line item is the actual customer)
e
will try that. Thanks so much for your help! 🙂
