Is there a report that shows how much of my revenue from a specific job was applied towards the overhead of that job and if so how do I run or set it up

I am currently using quickbooks enterprise contractor 19. I have a commercial construction company and we were trying to figure out how much of each jobs revenue was actually, if at all, being applied towards the overhead cost figured into each estimate for each job. We do progress billing so each class of each job has its own cost associated to it. I was just wanting to know if I should be setting something up to track this so we can make sure we are including enough on each estimate to cover the basic cost of operations. Its easy to see if we are covering cost for materials and labor but not so easy to find the figures to make sure we are covering all the other expenses that are underlying for each job (overhead, burden, etc.)

Hello, PalmettoProCon.

I'm here to lend a helping hand with generating a report that shows all the information you need in QuickBooks Desktop.

I can provide you with easy steps on how you generate a report that shows the revenue from a specific job in QuickBooks Desktop. You can pull up and customize the Job Profitability Detail report.

Here's how:

Click Reports at the top menu bar.
On the drop-down list, click Jobs. Time & Mileage then choose Job Profitability Detail.
Choose the Job and hit OK.
In the report screen, click Customize Report.
Go to the Filters tab and click the drop-down arrow under Account.
Choose Multiple Accounts.
Choose the Income Account and the Overhead Account.
Hit OK.
