Question

Logging employee cost against project

I can't figure out how to log employee time/costs against a project.

We are a general contractor, and have just started using Time, but I am trying to get an accurate picture of the costs associated with our projects.

Since the employee time is not "directly" billable to the client, but is included in the overall price of the job, I don't want to see "create invoice" against every hour my employees work on a specific project.

But, I want an accurate reflection of the materials and labour costs associated with a job.  Right now, I can't seem to figure out how to log the time so it reflects against a project.

Can anyone help????

Hi Eastbridge Craftsmen,

 

It's great to see you in Community.  Welcome!  QuickBooks Online Projects feature is a dynamic way to easily track your job profitability.  You can add expenses and labour costs.  I'd be glad to help!

 

If you want to add timesheets to a project that aren't billable, you can add them from the Time menu or in the Weekly Timesheet, depending on the type of account.

 

Here's how to add an existing timesheet to a project;

 

1. From the left panel, open Time and then the Time entries tab

2. Select the employee that has timesheets to add to the project

3. Locate the timesheet and select Edit

4. Use the Customer/Project ▼ dropdown menu and select the project

5. Hit Save

Here's a helpful guide for your reference.
