It seems I'm wasting my time even bothering to comment, but the jobs P&L report is pretty well useless without being able to run it on header jobs, or to be able to see the job list in a level hierarchy. Our job numbers are allocated with increasing numbers across the whole company but they could belong to any of three departments. I can't sort by those departments to select them in the list and don't want to have to add another department signifier to the beginning of each job number as that just adds extra typing at the data entry stage. If we set up the hierarchy when creating the job, we should be able to report on it. It was suggested on another thread that we run a job list report to see the list of jobs in each header job but I still have to manually go and select those jobs to run the consolidated report. Even that process is more time-consuming and cumbersome in AR than it was in classic version. At least on classic I could make the selection window bigger (from memory) and you could click anywhere on the line to select the job instead of having to line up the mouse with the box.
And yes, I know there are add-on solutions to this problem but we pay enough already each year for this software and I would just like to easily extract the data that's there. This is such a simple request. Why should we have to pay for MORE software?
And the option to save a custom report isn't much help either since whenever a new job is added, the report becomes obsolete.
