Project feature and overhead

@hspeaks2562

Q1: Write Overhead allocation Journal Entry (Create "+" sign on top > Other > Journal Entry)
Debit side is Overhead cost allocated to Projects (Name field on JE). And the Credit side is Overhead Expense pull (leave Name field on JE blank). The net impact on the P&L is zero.

(There is one other option (zero allocation using vendor form) but this one also works the same way as other option).

Q2. To show Land Cost (or expected Project Cost) on any reports is not an option in QBO. The only workaround is to use "Add notes" (which is just a text field) on the Project page.

I have not been able to find a place where we can apply a journal entry to a project.  Can you tell me what version of QB you are using and exactly where I find this feature?

We have not been able to find a way to book a journal entry to a project.  Can somebody tell me where to find this capability or what version of QB we need to be on to do this?

Thank you for your reply.  How to open a project is clear, what is still not clear is if a user can book a journal voucher to a project.  It must be there because what use is an expense collection feature if it will not accept all types of transactions.  Booking overhead allocations to a project by journal entry would be an often-used transaction in my opinion.
