A job is a project of a customer. Job costing is the tracking of expenses for a particular job. This is very important because it will give the owners an idea on which job is profitable or not and of course it will also measure the overall health of the business. Construction companies, architects, wedding planners and lawyers are just some examples of businesses that needs job costing.
In QuickBooks, job costing allows business owners to see how much they spent and made for each of the jobs of his customers. So how can we get a Profit and Loss per Job in QuickBooks? It's very simple.
Steps:
1. In purchasing inventory or paying for services, we use the icon for the Purchase orders, Enter Bills or Write Checks.
2. The most important step in tracking job costs for a certain project is to put the customer name or job in the column designated once we purchase then uncheck the billable column.
3. Invoice the customer the usual way.
4. Now your reports are ready! Go to Reports > Jobs, Time & Mileage then choose from the available reports. You may try the Profit and Loss by Job or the Job Profitability Summary. If you used estimates before creating the invoices, you may also check the Job Estimates vs Actual Reports.
