Hi FMW!

I'm glad you got help from my colleague, @RCV. Let me take care of your concern about the materials and other items, but I'll also clarify the record for VENDOR Co.

Since you're providing the construction materials, I assume the $50k is just payment for VENDOR Co's services. Therefore, you can write them a check and make it billable to Contractor Job 1, as shown below.

About your clarifying question, you won't need to duplicate the materials used on the construction site. You'll only need to add them to the customer's invoice, including the insurance, labor cost, and the billable service performed by VENDOR Co. Everything should sum up to $200,000 like what you've agreed. You can refer to the sample invoice below.

After recording your transactions, you can run the Profit and Loss by Job or Profit and Loss by Class.

Finally, if you want to see some references for QuickBooks Desktop, just press F1 to launch the Help window and search for the topics you like, or go to the main support page and click +More topics.

We're always available should you need more help with recording transactions in your manufacturing business. Take care always!
