Question

Need Payroll summary by job

How do I run a payroll summary by customer/subcustomer in QBO?  I need to be able to see the total wages to each job (customer/subcustomer) each month for accrued payroll entries. 

 

I found a report "Time Activities by Employee" that has the employee, job and hours, which is great, but no rate or amount.  I can see in each employees detail they have a set hourly rate, but it is not pulling into this report.  Is that because it needs to be set up somewhere in "Time"?

 

I don't currently have my jobs set up as projects, they are just customer/subcustomer.  Would setting up as projects give me the report I'm looking for?  Would setting up as projects give me better reporting or any real advantages over customer/subcustomer setup?  I just hesitate to start converting current jobs to projects and create a mess.

Hey there, Apples521.

 

Thanks for posting your question here in the Community. I'm here to provide some info about reports for projects in QuickBooks Online.

 

There are certain reports exclusive to projects in QuickBooks Online. You may consider creating a test project and then review the available reports to see if any of them will work for you. The following article provides additional info about using reports to track your project profitability and progress.

 

If you need more ways to customize reports I recommend submitting feedback to the Product Development Team for review. This can be done directly through your account by clicking the Gear icon then select Feedback.
