I allocate wage expenses to projects via a journal every month. How do I get the allocated wage expenses to show as part of the project profitability report?

Hello, Matthys.

I'll show the steps to help you show the wage expenses on the Project Profitability report. 

We want to make sure to code the project under the Name column in the journal entry. This way, the journal would appear as part of the Project Profitability report. 

Create or open a journal entry for the wage expenses. Then, add the project under the Name column. We'll want to make sure that the associated accounts are all coded to the project itself. This way, the entire transaction would show up on the report. 

Here's a sample visual guide on what would happen:

Aside from checking the Project Profitability report, we can also check the charts to see your business performance. I'll add this guide if you need help in the future: Create charts to see your business performance.
