Items vs. Expenses
B) When you “create” items, you will be required to select Expense/Income accounts for summarizing “purchasing” and “sales” activities. These designations also dictate where the transactions will appear on your Profit & Loss Reports.
A) Use the “Items” tab for job-related/direct costs.
This method will produce more accurate job-costing reports in QuickBooks.
A) Use the “Expense” tab for admin costs .
Both Methods ultimately affect the same Profit & Loss Accounts, but “Items” enhance the “Profit & Loss by Job” Report
