I've got you covered, @Chris-BRW.
I appreciate you laying out the details of your concern. I've got some information you need to accomplish your goal.
QBDT ensures you have an accurate record of your job costs. Hence, you'll need to go through a step-by-step process to track it on your Unbilled Costs by Job report.
First off, you'll need to set up a Customer: Job for your job. This enables you to keep track of your income and expenses on a job-by-job basis and can simplify your books. Here's how:
- Open your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
- Go to the Customers menu, then select Customer Center.
- From the New Customer & Jobs drop-down, choose Add Job.
- Fill out the job information.
- Click OK once finished.
When settled, we can now assign all your expenses to a job. You'll just need to select the created job when entering a bill or a check.
Once done, we can enter your estimates or create appropriate invoices to apply the expense to your customer.
