Job costing report for non-billable parts and labor?

Welcome to the Community space, @PAQS. I'm here to lend a hand. 

On your first concern, you can create Non-Inventory Part items in QuickBooks Desktop. Let me show you how:

1. Go to the Lists menu at the top. 
2. Select Item List.
3. Click the Item button in the lower-left corner of the list window.
4. Choose New.
5. In the New Item window that opens, select Non-inventory Part from the Type drop-down.
6. Enter the necessary information. 
7. Click OK once done.

As for the reports, you can pull up the Unbilled Costs by Job, which lists the costs you assigned to a specific customer or job but have not yet billed as reimbursable expenses. The report groups the unbilled costs by customer so you can see how much of your unbilled costs apply to each customer. If you did more than one job for a customer, the report shows a subtotal for each job. Then, as for the labor, you can run the Time by Job Detail. On this report, it will lists each time activity and shows whether the work is billed, unbilled, or not billable. 

To run these reports, here's what you'll need to do:

1. Click Reports at the top menu.
2. Select Jobs, Time & Mileage.
3. Choose  Unbilled Costs by Job or Time by Job Detail.

Ok so I set it up like you said but i have 2 questions.

First when I run the time by detail report it returns the hours assigned to the given job but I would like it to return the total wages paid.

Second I would like to only run one report not 2 reports. How can I combine these 2 reports together to give me a overview of my total expenses subtracted from my total income for each job. For reference I am looking for a solution similar to how the "Project" feature works in QBO. It should look something like this:

Income:

      Invoice: $2000

Expenses:

      Labor: $500

      Materials: $500

Profit: $1000

Profit Margin: 50%

Let me help you with your job reports, @PAQS.

You can pull up two reports (Payroll Item Detail and Time by Job Detail) and export them to Excel. This way, you can view the wages and hours at the same time. Here's how.

To pull Payroll Item Detail:

1. Go to Reports at the top. Then, select Employees & Payroll.
2. Choose Payroll Item Detail.
3. Tap the Customize Report button. In the Search Columns field, type Billing Status.
4. Click OK.
5. Tick the Excel drop-down at the top, then Create New Worksheet.

After that an Excel spreadsheet will open, just cut and paste the columns from there to create one report.

With your second question, you can run the Profit and Loss by Job report. This report will display your income, expense, and the net associated with the jobs. You can also filter it to show the unbilled status.

Here's how to get there:

1. Go to Reports. Then, select Company & Financial.
2. Choose Profit and Loss by Job.
3. To filter, click the Customize button at the top and then the Filters tab.
4. Search for Billing Status. Then, tick on of the radio button.
5. Hit OK.
