How do i applied a change order to a job?

Change orders are usually amendment contracts that get signed.  I work with a contractor, I usually just adjust the estimate and create a new one with the changes.  So if a client decides to upgrade the flooring, I create a new estimate with the additional cost and have the client sign off on.  If it is a deduction, you can deduct from the estimate and have the client sign off on again.  Progress invoicing should be fine if you're using as long as you didn't already invoice and collect the money, then you need to create a credit. 

Let me know if there is a better way! 

1. Go to Sales, then select All sales.
2. Locate the invoice you wish to void.
3. In the Action column, click the dropdown, then select Void.
   
   

Once you've voided the invoice, you can edit the original estimate to include the additional work. After making your changes, update the status of the estimate to Pending so that you can resend it to your client for approval. I've added a screenshot for your visual guide:

However, I still recommend reaching out to your accountant for additional insights on how to manage this in QuickBooks. They possess the expertise to ensure your financial records remain accurate and can help minimize errors, ultimately supporting more informed decision-making.

Additionally, QuickBooks provides various reports that can help you monitor the work added by your client. You can easily customize these reports to ensure you receive the specific data you need. For more details, I've included this helpful article: Customize Reports in QuickBooks Online.
