If I want to see a project report that shows gross amount paid, how is that done? It doesn't appear to give me anything but net for a project report?

Hello there, Julie-mood-hotma, and thank you for taking a moment to post your question in our QuickBooks Community!

The main reports we have for tracking Projects are the: Project Profitability Report, Time Cost by Employee or Vendor Report, or the Unbilled Time or Expenses Report. Each of these reports can be found by visiting your Projects tab, and then choosing the Project Reports section.

If you're wanting to show your gross amount in expenditures for a project, you may to start with our Project Profitability Report and customize the report parameters to adjust what you'd like to see. For example, you can change between Cash basis and Accrual basis on this report. Cash basis is going to show income and expenses when the actual payments are recieved or disbursed, so current time. Accrual basis is going to account for income and expenses that you've recieved, and that you're going to recieve in the future for that particular project. 

Once you've decided which accounting basis is best for what you're needing, you can choose to 'Customize' the report at the top-right, and filter things that you'd like to see or don't want to see included on the report.

Please let us know if running through the accounting basis and report customizations help get you the information you need on the report, and we can work from there.

All the best!
