I provide an IT Professional Service. I have purchased hardware and software that I bill the client for with no additional charge. I bill for the exact amount I paid. I want to continue to provide this service to my customers but am concerned with how to post such a transaction. I currently place the purchase on the monthly Invoice as part of my billing to the client. This shows up as Income which it really is not. What do you suggest?

Technically it is revenue.

You are selling a product to your customer.

The cost is the same, so the profit/net income is 0.

Just create a separate revenue account for all this to help keep things organized.
