You can track time for your customer or client in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2021, Jdrichardson. I'm here to navigate the location and ensure all setups are aligned.

 

In QBDT, you can enter time manually through the Employee option in the menu. Before doing so, turn on the Track time option in your Company preferences.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QBDT company file.
  2. Go to Edit, then choose Preferences.
  3. Go to Time and Expenses, then click the Company Preferences tab.
  4. Ensure to toggle the Yes option under Do you track time inquiry.
  5. Once done, click Ok.

After that, you can then enter the time manually. To do this, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to Employees, then choose Enter time.
  2. Select Time/Enter Single Activity.
  3. Enter the necessary information needed.

  4. Once done, click Save & New.
     

You can find further details on configuring your time tracking in this material: Set up time tracking in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

Moreover, it is recommended to run the QBDT Tool Hub if you are unable to find these features. Detailed instructions regarding this process in this material: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

 

Additionally, you can run various time and job reports to see how your business is doing on a job-by-job. You can check this resource for more information about generating the report: Customize customer, job, and sales reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Tag my name in the reply if you need further assistance tracking time for your customer or client. I'm just a notification bell away.
