Job costing functions in QB has advanced on QB on Line

Are you running a construction company? Using QBO alone is not enough and you should consider having a 3rd party app to do so.

Hello there. It's nice to see you here again in the Community.

I'll gladly share some insights about the job costing (projects) feature so you can start tracking your project's profitability in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Yes, I agree with your accountants that QuickBooks made changes and updates to its projects feature. With it, you can easily add project income, expenses, and labor costs and run project-specific reports from a single dashboard. Then, you can also add old transactions to new or ongoing projects.

If you wish to know more about using projects to track your project’s profitability in QBO, please see this article: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.

Also, you may want to check out this article as your reference to guide you in using projects to track labor costs and profitability in QBO: Track hourly labor costs and profitability by project in QuickBooks Online.

If you have other concerns about the projects feature or questions about tracking labor costs in QBO, please don't hesitate to comment below. I'm always ready to help. Take care, and stay safe.

We do have a third-party company which is Budget Trac.  Acumatica bought them, and we will be going with them, but we would like to integrate them into our Quickbooks.  Is this possible?

Hello, thanks for the update.

Let me route you to the best support who can verify the possibility of integrating the third-party (Budget Trac) company you're using into QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Only the third-party (Budget Trac) company you're using can verify the possibility of integrating into QBO. With this, I encourage you to reach out to their support. They have their way of how to perform the process accordingly.

Is there a way to add already completed projects into quickbooks, in order to attach receipts to these projects. It will not allow me to select a date in the past. Wondering if there is another way to go about this? Thank you
