another misc cost question - D-Tools Forum

ekalpakoff · 09-01-2009, 09:36 PM

I know the misc costs issue has been hashed again and again but I have another issue.

1.) If I add a 2% misc parts to a project in D-Tools > Options > Phases > Project defaults > Misc. Parts,

2.) Then generate a report to give to a client, misc. parts shows up as misc. costs at the end of the report but the part price is w/o the misc. parts cost.

SI Text part price = Proposal part price

3.) Client approves and sends PO with part prices listed on report.

Client PO part price = Proposal part price

4.) export to QB via quicklinks

client PO part price (not equal) to QB estimate price

Best I can tell it's adding the 2% to the part price upon exporting to QB instead of creating a misc parts line item in the QB est. Am I doing something wrong? I cannot send a client an invoice with different part pricing than whats on their PO, what gives?

Thanks

You got it right Eric, QB does not like the Misc Parts field.

In most all cases, you should not use this field.

Create a line item product called misc parts, place it in the miscellaneous Category (hopefully you have nothing else in that catch-all category) and add it as needed to cover consumable items used on jobs that are not in your database.
