| You have the option to define the Job Type field for each job. Unlike the Job Status field, no standard entries are available in the Job Type field; therefore, you can customize job types to go with your business. For example, a construction company's job types might include New Construction, Repairs, and Renovation. Job types can also be subtypes of other job types; for example, the New Construction job type might include the subtypes Commercial and Residential. After you enter a job type, that type stays in your company file and becomes available as a selection on other jobs. - Display the Customers & Jobs list by clicking on the Customer Center icon, then clicking the Customers & Jobs tab.
- Double-click a job name.
- Click the Job Info tab.
- Click the down-arrow in the Job Type field.
- Select an existing job type, or click Add New to enter a type that is not listed.
- Click OK.
Did You Know? An advantage of using job types is that QuickBooks considers job types to be an item. A drop-down list in the Job Type field provides an easy way to choose from existing job types. Also, if you open the Lists menu, select Customer & Vendor Profile Lists, and then select Job Type List from the side menu, you can create quick reports, easily edit job types, and search for job types in your transactions. |
