Description

This QuickBooks Desktop Job Costing course will provide the resources for learners to develop a solid understanding of job costing concepts and the tools QuickBooks provides to create an effective job costing system.

The course will include four example problems demonstrating different job costing systems and methods that can be used.

We will provide backup files so learners can jump forward in the problems or rework any component of a problem. The use of backup files is not a requirement of the course, however.

If you have an older version of the software and cannot use backup files, you can still work the practice problems from start to finish. We will be creating new files for each practice problem so learners can follow along from start to finish without the need for a backup file.

The course will start out reviewing a job costing system, gaining an understanding of the objectives of a job costing system. Then we will discuss the tools provided by QuickBooks to achieve our objectives in the QuickBooks software.

We will start by reviewing the end products of the four job costing system practice problems we will be creating in later in the course. This review process will allow us to visualize where we are headed in the course. Then we will start working problems from start to finish.

Our first QuickBooks problem will run a job cost system in QuickBooks using a work in process or WIP account to track costs. We will start out using a limited number of accounts and items and walk through each step in detail.

The second QuickBooks problem will run a job cost system in QuickBooks, focusing on the Cost of Goods Sold account. We will use a small number of accounts and items. We will discuss adjusting entries that can be used to adjust the financial statements to the appropriate accounting method required.

The third QuickBooks problem will run a job cost system in QuickBooks with the use of more accounts and items, resulting in a system that provides more detailed reports.

The fourth QuickBooks problem will run a job cost system in QuickBooks with the use of the classes feature. We will discuss the pros and cons of using this option.
