Quickbooks Uses with Quickbooks

Our company's desire is to track time in Intervals and then import that time into Quickbooks in order to track costs on jobs. We do not wish to use the intervals time to invoice clients (a quote is given to client's up front, and that dictates the final invoice, regardless of actual time spent).

We have recently hired a new marketing and operations manager, and it is this person's job to quote on jobs and schedule staff to prepare the job. As part of this person's compensation, the company wishes to provide an incentive bonus when the job costs are below the revenue generated. As a result, we would like to import the Intervals time information which would then integrate into a Quickbooks Job Cost or Job Profitability report.

Can Intervals provide this data? At present, I am only able to import the time spent on a job, and not the billing rate that I have assigned to different work functions. Am I wasting my time?

I have now been able to export time (and rates) from intervals into Quickbooks. When I go to invoice a client in Quickbooks, it allows me to choose the billable time for the Customer:Job and add it to an invoice. So I know that my hours and rates are properly importing into Quickbooks.

However, I want this time and rate to show up as a cost on a QB Job Profitability Report or Profit & Loss by Job report. I cannot even get the unbilled time to show up on a Unbilled Costs per Job report (yet when I go to "Time/Costs" on the invoice screen, this unbilled time shows up).

I think my problem is that I am trying to use Intervals to track my job costs, yet Intervals appears to be set up to import into Quickbooks from a Revenue/Invoicing perspective.
