The Estimated Job Expenses report provides detailed information for reviewing your job estimates. You can run this report during the progress of a job to compare your estimates with actual costs and expenses. The report displays your estimates (expenses and units) and actual totals (expenses and units) and shows you the difference.
If you want to compare estimates with actual totals at the end of a job, you may want to filter out Active jobs. The report will then include only the completed jobs.
