Can you enter a Budget by Job AND Class in Quickbooks Enterprise 21 - Contractor Version?

Yes, you can, @H7.

However, if you can only create specific criteria of either Job or by Class. Let me guide you how in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) software.

1. Go to the Company menu and hover over Planning & Budgeting.
2. Select Set Up Budgets.
3. Click Create New Budget.
4. Set the fiscal year for the budget, then choose either Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet, then select Next.
5. If you select Profit and Loss, you can add additional criteria, such as Jobs or Class tracking.
6. Select either Create budget from scratch or Create budget from the previous year's actual data.
7. Then click Finish.

I see how to setup a budget by Job OR Class, but I need to do it by both.  I am setting Budgets by Job with different Classes included in the (1) Job.

For example I have Job 123 and we have (3) class types for this job, ABC.  How can I put in the budget for Job 123 that $X goes to Class A, and $Y go to Class B, and $Z go to Class C?

Attached is a spread sheet with an example of a Budget I am trying to setup in QB for a Job with different Job Classes.

Thank you.  I will keep my eyes out and cross my fingers they make this an available option in the very near future.   

Would using an Estimate for the job be of any help to you instead of creating a budget?
