In QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop (Contactors Edition) we had a standard report available called Job (called Projects in QBO) Profitability Summary report. It showed Act Cost, Act Revenue and $ Diff. by Job name.
This is a quick view report for management but I have not been able to duplicate or modify a report in QBO to achieve the same results. Suggestions?
Hi, Scott4j.
Allow me to share an idea of how to modify reports in QuickBooks Online.
QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online are two different platforms. There are times that we can't pull up the same reports between the two.
In QuickBooks Online, I can guide you on how to pull up reports and get the information you need. You’ll need to turn on the Project feature first, so you’ll be able to create a project and pull up the profitability report.
Once done, you can now pull up a report by following these steps:

I've also included some articles that help you streamline the reporting process in QuickBooks:
Drop me a comment below if you have further questions about reports. I'll always have your back.
Thank you.
This is already on and we use the projects reports as you describe, for each project report.
I'm looking for a date range and summary on all projects.
thank you
Hello there, Scott4j.
Let me share what I know about the reports for projects in QuickBooks Online.
Currently, the reports available for projects are Project profitability, Time cost by employee or vendor, and Unbilled time and expenses. But keep in mind, that data shown on these reports are exclusive to the project in question.
That being said, there isn't any available report that shows related data for all projects within the given date. I see how this can be beneficial to you and as well as other users of QuickBooks Online. I'll make sure that our product engineers will be informed about it. This way, they may consider it on the next updates.
Just in case you need further information about Project features in QuickBooks Online, you can check out this article: Projects FAQ. It contains lists of common questions with answers and related links.
You can post a reply below if you still have other questions about project. I'll keep an eye on your response. Have a wonderful day!
Is there any update as to when this will be made available? This is a critical thing to have access to from a management standpoint. This was one of the major disappointments when I transitioned from QB Desktop to QBO.
I appreciate for bringing this to our attention, jpcbarlow.

Did you ever get an update or way to print the job profitability report? Our company just got switched over from desktop to online. We used that singular report DAILY for many things. I am crippled in my job without it. I do not understand why QB online version did away with this standard report.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
I recently switched from desktop to online and I am having a hard time! We use this report multiple times a day for multiple functions. Did you ever find a solution? Thank you for your help!

I don't understand how this feature isn't available in QBO. We were forced to move from QB desktop to QBO so we could continue to run payroll and a large majority of reports used in desktop are not available in QBO. Job Profitability Summary Report is a must have. When will this be available?
I appreciate you joining in on this thread, tbbofalabamakh. I'm here to share additional insights and help you run the report you need.
I understand the relevance of having the Job Profitability Summary report on your business to help you track and manage your customer's jobs or projects. In the meantime, we can only run the Project Profitability report from the Projects section. As QuickBooks aims to improve the program's compatibility and product experience, there's no specific timeframe for when this accessible report will be available in QuickBooks Online. Thus, I've added the steps below for you to be guided.
Here's how:
