Hello my name is Cheryl and my boss expenses all his expenses by the job.  What I need to know is how do I pull up a report that shows what expenses went to one single job?  I can't seem to find a report that I can pull up just one job and get those expenses, they all come up and I have tried to customize a P&L report but I can't do that by one job either.  There has to be a way I can find out for my boss what expenses he had on one single job.  Can someone help me with that?  Thank you

Let me provide some information about running your Profit and Loss report, missymarykay55.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop, we can run a specific job to reflect in the Profit and Loss report. From there, all the expenses posted to that job will show in the report. 

 

Just run the Profit and Loss by Job and customize the report to one Job only to show the total job expenses. You can also filter the report to the Transaction Type option to choose transactions you want to include in the report.

 

Let me show you how:

 

  1. Click Reports on the top menu.
  2. Choose Company & Financial.
  3. Select Profit & Loss by Job.
  4. Tap the Customize Report button and tick Filters.
  5. Enter Job Type in the Choose Filter field.
  6. Choose a specific job by clicking the Job Type drop-down button.
  7. Go back to the Choose Filter field and select Transaction Type.
  8. Tick the Transaction Type drop-down and select Multiple Transaction Types.
  9. Place a checkmark on the transactions you'll want to include.
  10. Press OK.

This was close but I had to go in by name to get what I wanted not job type because all of our jobs are by name but you got me to where I wanted to be.  Thank you
