Job Costing

I can share some insights about the Job Costing process in QuickBooks, @snunez89,

While estimates are non-posting transactions, we're unable to assign time nor see its cost on the reports. You can, however, pull up separately a Time by Job Detail report to show unbilled time and Job Estimates vs. Actual Detail for company estimated costs and revenues.

Once you have them open, export the data and manually combine them in Excel. To access the reports, simply go to the Reports menu and select Jobs, Time & Mileage. Click the reporting type you need from the list.

How do you combine them manually?

I am trying to pull a P&L for one job that has more than one class on the invoice.

Example:

Customer = XYZ

Class = Bluff Project (customer)

Class + Truck 101 (equipment)

Class = Tractor 50 (equipment)

but....we are using certain equipment on the job that we are classing under the equipment on the invoice.

How do I get a P&L to report all income to include the equipment classes and the job.  The job does not have equipment classed in hierarchy under it as we use the same equipment on multiple jobs.

Can this be done?

Welcome to the Community, @Mesha.

At this time, there isn't an option to customize the Profit and Loss report to show all incomes, including classes and the job. As a workaround, you can consider running and customizing the Transaction Detail by Account report.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu, then select Accountant & Taxes and choose Transaction Detail by Account.
2. Click the Customize button.
3. In the Display window, select the date range of the report you want to show.
4. Select Customer in the Total by drop-down.
5. Go to the Filters tab, then search for Account and select Income and other income accounts from the drop-down.
6. Then, search for Transactions Type and select Invoice.
7. Click OK.
