Jobs Estimates Vs Actuals Detailed Monthly Reporting

Hello,

 

Every month I have to run 'Job Estimates vs Actuals Details' reports for over 50+ jobs. I navigate through the customer center, select the job, select 'Estimates vs Actuals', adjust for the current period and export to excel. Currently this is a manual process  that takes several hours to complete. 

 

Is there a way to automate this process to save time instead of manually extracting the reports?

 

I currently use Inuit Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions 22.0 via remote desktop access. 

 

Thank you!

Hi Trish,

 

Thanks for your response! I was  just looking into that feature, but I noticed that the if I were to send a report, it only sends as a PDF. I need the reports prepared as excel files. Any suggestions?

 

thank you,

Hi dannyn1,

 

To have these reports in a spreadsheet format, the only option at this time, is to export it to excel.  If you would like to see the option to send a scheduled report in a different format, I recommend sending feedback to our development team, by going to: Help>Send Feedback Online>Product Suggestions.  Once received, they will look into ways they could add this feature in future updates.

 

Please don't hesitate to touch base with us again, should you have other questions or concerns.  We're here for you!
