Per Diem

How do you charge the Per Diem to a single job when multiple jobs are worked in a single pay period. Currently it gets charged evenly to all jobs worked during a pay period. And then my accountant says he has to spend a lot of time going back and doing journal entries to get the Per Diem taken out of the job that should not have it and add it back to the job(s) that should have it.

 

i called quickbooks and the person I talked to had me share my screen and said I have everything set up right but you can’t assign the per diem to a specific job.  She also said to write the feedback with your concern and suggestion for a fix, which would be simple in my option, give us the option to assign it to a job when we put it in the payroll!!

 

This should be a quick fix for quickbooks!!!!

    I made the product improvement suggestion friday night after I got off the phone with the lady that helped me.  She also put a note in about it.

     

    This should be something that can be fixed ASAP so that accounting is accurate and we don't have to waste HOURS AND HOURS each week calculating and doing journal entries to get costs to the correct job.
