[GNC] So confused about Jobs

[Sabina Iseli-Otto]

Hello,

I think I might be misunderstanding how jobs work. I’ve gone through the list archives and the help information on the website but I think I might be missing something super-basic — too used to my old way of doing things! 

I would like to assign the cost of materials to specific jobs: to track them, not necessarily to have them appear on invoices for customers. 

I’m not sure if it matters, but so far, I have not been using GnuCash’s invoicing feature (making my own separately).

I think I need to add job costs directly to invoices for specific customers, is that right? 

If I add those job costs to invoices, will those job costs show up in a place where I can reconcile them against my statements?

Is there a better way to track individual job costs?

Thank you for your help!

Warm wishes from soon-to-be-sunny Alberta,
Sabina
