Question

Journal Entries with multiple transactions are being job costed when they shouldn't be

Found a super weird glitch in Quickbooks where Journal Entries that have some of the transactions job costed, and some do not, the ones that are not job costed will still end up on the job cost report, based on the first entry in the journal entry. See attached screen shots. The work around I found was to move one of the non job costed entries up to the top. In my example, I moved the office salaries entry to the top. That solves the problem but I still think this needs to be looked at. The company I am currently working for has been submitting bad cost data due to this glitch. Now I have many weeks of payroll GJE's to reconcile and correct.
