We are a general contractor that has subcontractors that perform most of the work. Example electrical contractors, framing, plumbing, window/mirrors etc. When we receive an invoice from our subcontractor for example from the Windows/Mirror sub would I enter that charge from the sub in Category details under COGS- Subcontractor expense or would I go down to Item details and find the window line item and enter the charge there?

We'll help you decide on how to record your subcontractor bills in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to manage your expenses accordingly, Wmbuilders.

 

When creating a bill, input the subcontractor's charge in the Category details if you're entering it under an expense account from the chart of accounts. Use the Item detail section if you want to record it under the products and services you sell.

 

Also, would you like to know how much you're paying each contractor every month? This article will guide you through the process: Run and save a monthly expense report by vendor.

 

Reach out to us again if you need further assistance managing expenses and subcontractor transactions in QuickBooks. We'll be more than happy to assist you further.
