Dumb Question

I can think of a kludge way to do this: Run and export to Excel the two reports, "Open Purchase Orders" and "Open Purchase Orders by job." Sort each one by PO Number or Vendor, then look for the "missing" ones in the Job listing.

-- Tom Healy, CPA Boulder, CO Web:

We don't use POs but that was a great idea. Unless I'm missing something the ability to see all costs by job (including no job the way you see No Item show up on Job Cost Reports) and/or isolate costs not assigned to a job is a big one and shouldn't be lacking.

Tara-What about using a "Misc" job to lump all those together? I don't use the Job Cost area of QB, so not real familiar what will work & what won't. HTH

That is an excellent suggestion and one I'll immediately employ. Unfortunately I still can't figure out how to find costs (and 99% of them would have been recorded on the Items tab of a "bill") that were unassigned a customer/job.
