How to Delete Unbilled Expenses In QuickBooks 

What is unbilled expenses in QuickBooks?

Unbilled expenses in QuickBooks refer to expenses that have been incurred by a business but have not yet been invoiced to the customer or client. These expenses may include costs such as travel expenses, supplies, or services provided by a third-party vendor on behalf of the business.

When you enter an expense in QuickBooks, you have the option to mark it as billable. This means that you plan to bill the expense to a customer or client at a later time. QuickBooks will then track the expense as an unbilled expense until you create an invoice for the customer and include the expense on the invoice.
