how do I set up my accounts so that it will show the job costing expenses when I go into that report. As of now I get some of the job expenses and income but not all.
Answer
Be sure to use the items tab on Write Check or Enter Bill form.
Be sure to create an estimate for your jobs.
Then view reports - jobs, time and mileage for great reporting.

Answer
You need to begin with creating items for your labor and materials used. Then you create an estimate using these items. The invoicing is done from the estimate, this way you keep track of your income on the job. The billing and labor hours are intered utilizing the same respective items. This enables you to run an Estimates vs. Actual Reports and see all your actual expenses vs. what you estimated.
