It's great to have you visiting the QuickBooks Community space, trackey. Thank you for sharing a thorough explanation of your concern and a screenshot that illustrates the specific action you want to accomplish.

You can use the Project functionality to track your contractual job. It'll allow you to monitor your employee's hours, products and services, expenditures, or materials. This feature also lets you add project income, expenses, and labour costs and runs project-specific reports. Projects are only available in QuickBooks Online Plus, Advanced, and Accountant.
I'll show you how you can enable this functionality:
- Go to the Gear icon, then select Account and settings.
- Choose the Advanced tab.
- Find the Projects section and hit Edit to expand it.
- Turn on Organise all job-related activity in one place.
- Click Save and then Done.
After that, you can proceed with creating an estimate or quote. An estimate is a non-posting transaction, which means that this doesn't affect your financial records. In this case, you'll need to document the percentage or specific payment you've received from your customers. If customers are making partial payments, you can mark the estimates as closed instead.
Additionally, you can create weekly timesheets to monitor your employee's billable hours. On the timesheet window, select the employee and designate the project as the customer. You can also input the relevant products and services for the project and check the Billable (/hr) box. It'll allow you to track and report the costs and revenues for specific customers or projects. Ensure you accurately monitor your project activities to keep everything up to date. I'll add this article for more info: Create and manage projects in QuickBooks Online and Accountant.
