Learn how to set up a job and manage it in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

QuickBooks lets you track each job or project you do for your customer. Follow these steps on how to set up and manage jobs.

Set up a job

If you haven’t yet, add a customer first so you can assign a job to them. Here’s how you can set up a job for your customer.

Edit a job

Here’s how you can update a job’s info. Note that if you make any changes, it will affect only this job. For example, if your customer's billing address is different for this job, you can enter the job address without affecting the customer's main address.

Delete a job

If you’re done with a job and want to delete it from your customer, you can make it inactive. Here’s how.

If you need a report that focuses on your jobs, you can customize a report. Find out how you can customize it.
