Adrien, You've submitted quite a few responses today to threads that are several months old. Is this something on your side, or the list's?

The short answer is, "you can't." 'Jobs' aren't quite what the name implies. Rather, think 'Purchase Order'. There are various use cases the 'Jobs' feature does not work for: Multiple Customers (and even split with stock orders) for the same Job. Yeah, I know this sounds weird, but if a Job is really just a PO, it is not un-common to place a single PO with a Vendor that covers not only items for multiple customers, but also for stock inventory. The Job assigned to a Vendor and the Job assigned to a Customer are *not* the same 'job' despite them both having the same 'job name'. The intended use case is extremely limited. There are several other threads about job/project/property reporting. Other than using outside software entirely, you have perhaps 4 options: 1. Create special expense/income accounts for each job/project/property and only include those in the relevant reports. The drawback is cluttering your CoA, especially if such special accounts aren't on-going. (easier for rental properties, less so for one-offs) 2. Use your own 'tags' in various fields to identify what job/project/property the expense/revenue applies to. Then use the Transaction Report, exporting to a spreadsheet if needed to make it pretty the way you want. 3. Modify the P&L/Income Statement to use the report Option to filter based on various fields like the Transaction Report can. (the included P&L doesn't have this option) 4. Craft your own entirely custom report that uses these 'tags'. ----- I say 'tags' because GnuCash doesn't have that as an established feature. You'd simply include text with an identifier like '@' '#' et cetera before the tag text and put that tag in one of the 'Description' 'Notes' 'Memos' or 'Action' fields as you find useful.
