I need help with setting up our small construction company in a way that will allow us to run meaningful and detailed job cost reports.

I am an experienced QB Enterprise user but this is my first time using QuickBooks Online and I can't seem to properly set us up with the categories we want to track.  I need all of this to work seamlessly with Payroll as well in the way I was used to with Enterprise.  Can someone help me out and point me in the right direction here?

Hello kimazadian-yahoo,

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community! I will be more than delighted to show you how to create categories and group your products and services. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu and click Products and Services.
  2. Choose the dropdown More ▼, and select Manage categories.
  3. Choose New category, then enter the name of the category.
  4. Hit Save.

 

Follow these steps to add an existing product or service to a category:

  1. Go to the Sales menu and click Products and services.
  2. Locate the product or service and choose Edit from the Action column.
  3. Choose the Category ▼ dropdown, then select one that fits this item. Or click  + Add new to create a new one.
  4. Hit Save and close. 

 

I recommend reviewing these resources to assist with the different reports and becoming better acquainted with QuickBooks Online.

 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions! I will be happy to help! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

As you can see, effective communication is essential to the success of a custom software development team  mlsdev.com/blog/it-outsourcing-companies. A good software development firm will follow the right communication strategy to make sure your project gets done on time and on budget. The goal of a software project is to make your business or organization more successful, and a well-developed product requires a collaborative, respectful team. The right team will be able to communicate effectively and ensure that they are working towards a common goal.
