Job costing, as covered in accounting textbooks and as implemented in some software versions including desktop Quickbooks Pro (but not in some other versions of Quickbooks), is not available in GnuCash. Job costing allows a construction business, say, to track expenses associated with each separate building project. I participated in a recent thread about that, and I have asserted it is an important feature to support if possible, in my opinion in top 5 needs. A work-around to cover just one job, say, is to set up additional permanent accounts in the chart of accounts for expenses of that one job. But if you need tracking for hundreds of jobs that is not workable.
If you don't mind, could you possibly please share roughly what your interest is, what your kind of business or your client's business is, what would a job be, approximately how many jobs might you want to track separately? Are you already using GnuCash and does it otherwise seem to meet your needs? Is traditional job costing crucial for you to use GnuCash?
