We use desktop contractors edition. We have service items (shop and install hours) that are part of a group that we use when writing estimates, which are then converted to invoices after job is finished. Every estimate is written with a quantity of these items - shop hours and install hours - estimated. Employees clock in using the same service items and the same job names. I want a report that will compare these service hours estimated to actual. I can find reports that compare $ but not the actual number of hours.
I thought I had found it once but can't find it again! Help!
Let me provide you with some information about running service item reports in QuickBooks Desktop, EvA2021.

Also, to come up with the report you need, we can export the report to Excel. Just click the Excel drop-down and select Create New Worksheet option. From there, you can customize the column to compare the service items (hours) estimated to the service items (hours) actual. Feel free to read through our guide for your convenience: Export reports as Excel workbooks.

Well that gave me the dollars value but not the underlying hours, which are the actual service items. I had never used the search columns or filters before, so that was helpful.
I have an hours report I made, it is for payroll items and duration.
