intuit time tracking

We use Quickbooks to track time on projects.  Once a project is complete, is there a way to 'lock' a project in quickbooks so folks cannot enter time anymore?

We want to keep the project in the system for historical records, so I don't want to 'delete', but that is the only option I've seen so far.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Allow me to share some information about keeping your projects in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @mikem8.

 

As of the moment, the option to lock a completed project in QBO isn't available yet. Since you'll want to keep the project in the system for historical records, we can export them to Excel for your future use. Here's how to do it.

 

  1. Select Projects from the left menu.
  2. Under the Status section, click the dropdown arrow and choose Completed
  3. Click the specific customer or project.
  4. From the Overview section, select the Export to Excel icon beside the Print list icon and it'll automatically download the Excel file.

 

Additionally, I'm attaching these handy articles to learn about QuickBooks Time reports and adding paid and unpaid invoices to the project in QuickBooks. Please check out these links:
