Customer vs Job

Modified on Sun, 26 Jul at 3:33 AM

Overview

QuickBooks treats customers and jobs differently depending on whether a customer has jobs beneath it.

Key Rule

A customer is both a customer and a job only when it has no jobs beneath it.

Once jobs are created beneath that customer, the customer is no longer treated as a job.

How Representative Fields Are Assigned

The customer and job structure determines whether representative information is reported as Customer Rep or Job Rep.

Customer with no jobsThe customer is also the job.Customer Rep and Job Rep contain the same value.
Customer with jobs beneath itThe customer is no longer a job. Each job is treated separately.Customer Rep and Job Rep may contain different values.

How QQube Identifies Customer-Level Activity

QQube maintains a clear distinction between customers and jobs.

When a transaction is assigned directly to a customer that has jobs beneath it, QQube identifies the activity as Posted to Customer instead of Job.

Expected Result

Use the customer and job hierarchy when selecting Customer Rep, Job Rep, or job-related fields in QQube reports. This ensures that customer-level activity and job-level activity are interpreted correctly.
