The expenses added to the Project does not show in the Overview : Income - Costs = Profit.

What may be the reasons behind this problem? How do I rectify it? Thanks

Hello @graceytan,

 

Thank you for dropping by here in the Community. I'm here to help you correct the details showing in QuickBooks Online.

 

Missing information from the Project Overview can be an issue related to the web pages. We can use a private browser to access your account and see if the figures show up.

 

It doesn't use the cache, which stores data that creates browser-related issues. Please use these keyboard shortcuts depending on the browser you're using:

 

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: press Command + Shift +N

 

If you can view the amounts, let's switch back to the regular browser and clear its cache & historical data. This helps to restore the default setup of the browser.

 

In case private browsing doesn't work, use another supported web engine to get the best and most secure experience with the program.

 

Let me know if the problem persists by leaving a comment below. If you can add more details about your QuickBooks region, it would help us check the issue.

 

Additionally, I recommend visiting the following article to guide on how to add existing expenses to a project in QuickBooks: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.

 

You're always welcome to post any questions you have in this space related to the projects. I'll be happy to help you some more. Have a good day.

This "fix" doesn't work.  I've cleared the cache, I always use incognito in Chrome, I tried Firefox....  Still no Overview tab in Projects when I click on a project.

 

I tried to start a live chat and it's not available.  

 

Please help by making accessing technical support easier!

 

Thank you,

Rachel

How is this still an issue after what appears to be 4 years of complaints on this?  This is something I used all the time in Quickbooks Desktop before being forced to conver to QBO this year.

I appreciate your participation in this thread, @NLD1. Let's send feedback or product recommendations to help improve the features and your experience using QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

As my colleague mentioned above, your valuable feedback will be forwarded and reviewed by our Product Development team and will help improve your experience while using the program. We highly value your suggestions and consider them while making product updates.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  2. Select Feedback under Profile.
  3. Share your feedback.
  4.  Click Next to submit.

 

Once done, your valuable suggestion goes to our Product Development team to help improve your QBO experience. You can track feature requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature.

 

In this case, I want to ensure that someone will check your company's information to know each account location. Having said that, I'd like to redirect you to our Customer Care Team. This way, they can check your account in a secure environment and verify the information on each company since we can't verify your QuickBooks account here in the Community.

 

In the meantime, for more information on adding existing transactions to a project in QuickBooks, see this article: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please know that I'm always ready to help if you have other feature and account management concerns in QBO. Take care, and I wish you continued success, @NLD1.

I have same issue and read whole threads.

I believe I need to edit the role and I guess this is because Project in the Report is marked X.

Is there anyway to make these available to select?
