2. Add two other charge Items: (1) Transfer out of WIP – with WIP as the account and note in the description that the amount should be positive, and (2) Transfer into COS – with COS as the account and note in the description that the amount should be negative.

3. Make sure to always use the Items tab on all your transactions instead of the Expenses tab.

4. If you use Job Profitability reports, modify/filter them to include your WIP account.

5. You can track the amount in WIP by job by going to Lists > Chart of Accounts. Highlight the WIP account, click on the Reports button, select Quick Report, and sort by Name.

6. Once the home is completed, prepare an invoice or sales receipt with a line for the sales price (mapped to an income account) and then add the two other charge items you created above making sure to use a negative amount for Transfer into COS. Once done, the ending total for the invoice should match the sales price. 

1. Unless it's a minor report modification, I usually start with a Custom Summary or Transaction Detail report. Use a transaction detail report if you want a listing of transactions, like checks, bills, etc. Use a summary report if you're looking for account totals. For the first report you're looking for, I'd use a Custom Transaction Detail Report.

2. Click on the Modify Report button.

3. On the Display tab, select All for Dates and Customer for Total by.

4. On the Filters tab, select Transaction Type and select Checks.

5. You can add Unpaid Bills by selecting Multiple Transaction Types and adding Bills. Then select Paid Status and select Open.

You can also select which columns you want to see on the report on the Display tab, and change the name of the report, fonts. etc. on the other tabs.

Just remember to memorize the report once you've modified it exactly the way you want, so you can use it whenever you like. You can also add it to your Icon Bar by going to View -> Add [report name] to Icon Bar when the report is open.
