We are a job costing company. Every product we sell is a result of a job estimate that is custom fabricated for a unique customer. We would like the ability to run a report at the end of the job that would help us complete a full blown post-mortem or the job. There are estimate vs actual reports that do provide a large portion of what we need but it does not show the purchase order numbers of the material we ordered to build the job. We currently must zoom into or drill down to the line item of expense, then drill to the bill where it was paid and then we can see the purchase order number of where it was procured. Is there a way to get the material purchase order number to show up on a report that we could use for this analysis?

Good to see you here, @vgardner218. I can add some information about your preferred report in QuickBooks Desktop.

I understand how it is important for you and your business to show the purchase order number in the report. But currently, this option is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. To see the purchase order, you may need to drill down each item in the report.

In the meantime, you'll want to run the Purchase orders by job report then export them as Excel. From there, merge the Estimates Job vs. Actual and Purchase orders by job reports.

Here's how:

Open QuickBooks and go to the Reports menu.
Select the Reports Center.
Find the reports.
Click the Excel on the toolbar.
To create a new Excel workbook, select Create New Worksheet or Update Existing Worksheet.
When you’re ready to export, select OK.

Additionally, here are some that you can read to help manage reports in QuickBooks Desktop:
