I see this thread has been resurrected so thought I would chime back in.
Without the company having to buy additional software, right now I am getting what we need by manually calculating our overhead costs, coming up with an employee pay rate that incorporates that and enter that rate into TSheets (QB Time). Then I run a job costing report from TSheets so I get everyone's time and cost (with labor burden) and I get the time spent on various equipment (each has been entered into TSheets as a class.) It also gives me the jobs worked on. I apply an operating rate (I believe by BlueBook). THEN I have to do an internal "bill" where I can apply the labor cost and equipment cost to the various projects, and THEN I apply the total cost for the week with NO job. The end result is zero, but it gets those labor and equipment costs into QB without affecting our P&L etc. so I can run a P&L by Class report. Also a Job Profitability Report.
Pain in the butt, but I am so used to it now, it doesn't take that long. At least until / if / when we buy new/additional software and go through all the set up and converting process. I'm still having PTSD from having to convert from QB Online to QB Desktop so I am in no rush now.
