QB Desktop: show vendors on Job Profitability/Item Actual Cost Detail report?

After I run a job profitability detail report (QB Desktop Pro 2019), I sometimes click through on the report to view the Item Actual Cost Detail report.  I would like to see the vendor associated with each of the cost items, but there does not seem to be an option to add the vendor after clicking on 'Customize Report'.  Is there any way to do this?

Hi there, mangoMan.

 

At the moment, only the column names available on the Columns tab will display on the report. I'm sending feedback on your behalf, so our engineers can consider adding a column for the vendor's name.

 

In the meantime, you can open each transaction to see the vendor's name.

 

If you have additional questions, feel free to reach back out.

Hello there, mangoMan.

 

You can run the Item Actual Cost Detail report. Before doing so, let's make sure to enter the name of the vendor and other details when creating a bill.

 

See the sample screenshot below:

If you have additional questions about running the reports, let me know. I'm here to help.

Thanks for the reply SarahannC, however the issue I'm having is getting the Vendor to show up on the Actual Cost Detail report.  I have the vendor properly set up on the Bills, however adding a Vendor column to the report when I try to customize it is not an option.  When I click on 'Customize Report', then go to the 'Display' tab, there is no option to add Vendor to the Columns that can be displayed.
