How to charge expenses to a customer

[John Layman]

Thanks.  I haven't used the Employee features, so this isn't familiar territory.

I can guess how the voucher entry works and how expense accounts are entered, but how is an income account specified for the receivable?  The business features just aren't documented.

It's an employee expense voucher.  Under Business/Employee pick New Expense Voucher.  For each of these, you can select a Customer (and if appropriate a Job) as the Default Chargeback Project.  There's an Invoiced? column, too.
