Just verifying that QB Premier 2009 (if that matters) cannot create a Job without having a customer first. True, without customers, you have no jobs. But...
I am working QB to support a non-profit and we are trying various avenues to distinguish (to be sortable, searchable, filterable) dues-paying members (on an accrual basis) with other types of people who give us money for the various "cost centers" (my boss's words, not mine).
I do have the book "Running your Non-Profit in QB" (or something like that), and there's some interesting advice. But I don't think it covers what I am truly wanting to discover...
I have not found a way to generate an Open Invoice Report or Aging Report (maybe others) that filters on a specific job. (I have a nice bookkeeper, but she doesn't know everything about QB.)
"Job Type," yes. But that may be too broad, maybe not. "Customer Type," haven't explored that. Maybe a good candidate is the Memo field or one of the Custom fields.
Does the Customer Center filter box use wildcards? That is, all customers whose first character is "M" with the sequence "Member" in it? (M*Member*) I could experiment, and I will, but I also ask because there may be someone who found a peculiar approach/answer to this problem.
(I'm an IT Director who's been asked to program a line of communication from our eCommerce store to QB via IIF. We sell annual memberships, advertising in our journal, and exhibit space at our conferences. And other stuff.)
