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.
- From the Customer menu, select Customer Center.
- Select the customer you're doing the job for.

- Select OK.
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.
- From the Customer menu, select Customer Center.
- Select the job under a customer name.
- Select the pencil ✎ icon, then apply the changes needed.
- Select OK.
