Does anyone have a solution to this? I need to record sales manager commissions to the correct projects, and pay his commissions via QBO full service payroll. I'm accumulating this on a spreadsheet for now, but will need to record commissions to the jobs by the end of February.
Hey there, @lindab2810.
Thanks for reaching out. I hope you're enjoying this beautiful day.

Thanks for this. However, I know how to do this piece.
My issue is the commission payment is always for multiple jobs. How/where do I allocate the commission to those individual jobs. There is no method within the payroll function to do this, and the allocation is necessary for our job record keeping.
I appreciate you getting back to us, @lindab2810.
You'll want to create a journal entry for the commission accounts to apply to their respective jobs.
Here's how:
I'm adding this article for more details: Create a journal entry in QuickBooks Online.
Also, I encourage seeking help from your accountant. This way, they can offer you some advice on correct accounts to use.

Please keep in touch if there's anything else I can do to help you succeed with QuickBooks. I've got your back. Have a great day.
Did you ever get a solid answer for this or did you figure out a workaround for this? I have the same issue and I'm wondering what kind of JE I would use to track the commission expense to each job.
