Hello,

I am trying to figure out the best way to accurately track our labor and material income through reports, without having to show breakdown on invoice that is sent to customer.  I am struggling to find the best way to ask this question (I'm an electrical contractor, QB is not my first language ;o), so I am hoping someone out there can read my mind!  Example below...

1.  We quote a job to customer (quote NOT prepared through QB)

2.  Upon invoicing, we currently use one line item called "Quoted Job" and enter the total cost for the job.

3.  In reports, we can track the income for "Quoted Jobs", but we would like to be able to have that split into "Quoted Job Labor" and "Quoted Job Materials" categories for tracking purposes.

4.  We would like to be able to do this WITHOUT showing the labor/material breakdown to the customer on final invoice.

Hoping that makes sense.  We have the breakdown of labor and materials on our paper files/quotes, but trying to figure out how to transfer that info to QB invoice so we can track, but only show one final price to customer.

Thank you in advance for your help!
