How to get wages mapped to the correct job with QBO Time and Payroll Settings

I'm having trouble getting wages to post to a customer/subcustomer when running a P&L by customer report.

 

We use QB Time and I can see each time entry has a customer tied to it.  However in a P&L by customer report they are showing up in the "Not specified" part of the report.

 

In the payroll settings- accounting preferences- wages expenses I currently have chosen the first option "All my employee's wages are posted to one expense account" and have this mapped to our Labor COGS account.  However instead of breaking out to the Labor COGS account for each customer based on the customer selected at the time entry, the labor is all going to the "Not specified" section of the P&L.  I don't actually run the payroll, someone else does, but is there some disconnect between QB Time, the setting I have set up in payroll accounting preferences and when payroll is run?

Hey there, @Apples521. 

 

Welcome back to the Community! 

 

To map wages to the correct job in QB Time and QuickBooks Online Payroll, you need to set up payroll item mappings within QuickBooks Time and then configure overrides for specific jobs or customers. This ensures that hours worked on a particular job are correctly allocated to the appropriate payroll item and, consequently, the correct expense account in QuickBooks Online.

 

 For details on how to do these particular actions, check out this guide: Map QB Payroll Items in QB Time.
