We are a job costing company. Every product we sell is a result of a job estimate that is custom fabricated for a unique customer. We would like the ability to run a report at the end of the job that would help us complete a full blown post-mortem or the job. There are estimate vs actual reports that do provide a large portion of what we need but it does not show the purchase order numbers of the material we ordered to build the job. We currently must zoom into or drill down to the line item of expense, then drill to the bill where it was paid and then we can see the purchase order number of where it was procured. Is there a way to get the material purchase order number to show up on a report that we could use for this analysis?
