How do you draw up an expense invoice or expense allowance?

Question

For an invitation abroad, I was allowed to pay my expenses (transport, food and drink) from the company that invited me at their expense. Afterwards, I would have to invoice them for these expenses. Now my question is: How do I ensure that this invoice does not become part of my turnover, but rather a normal refund? Or expense allowance?

If you create an invoice for the refund of costs, it will first be included in your turnover. That's how it works.

But because the costs are also included in your accounts, you have a zero effect.

So first put it on the invoice for the customer, so that they can refund you. But the costs are included in your accounts, so there is no profit.
