&lt;p&gt;No need - we actually have this information already. &amp;nbsp;If you look on the &lt;span id="mce_15_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;edit customer&lt;span id="mce_15_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; screen &lt;span id="mce_19_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_22_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;under&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;the payment &amp;amp; job info tab you&amp;#39;ll be able to access the job status info. &amp;nbsp;This does not contain a percentage but&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="mce_6_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;generic terms from QuickBooks like pending, in-progress, closed. &amp;nbsp;Is this what you&amp;#39;re looking for?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_0_start"&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/cs/Themes/methodtheme/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;dottie:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Th&lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;is percentage must correspond with quickbooks and must include the date and name of the user that updated the information.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span id="mce_3_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;QuickBooks uses generic terms for &lt;em&gt;job status&lt;/em&gt; so there is no percentage that I know of unless you&amp;#39;re u&lt;span id="mce_9_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;sing custom field&lt;span id="mce_12_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;s to track this?&lt;span id="mce_11_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp;Either way the job status information is available to Method CRM and so would any custom fields you may be using.&lt;span id="mce_8_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span id="mce_3_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_8_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="mce_10_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/cs/Themes/methodtheme/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;dottie:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="mce_0_start"&gt;Also once the job is 100% complete I need to only allow one spec&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_start"&gt;ific user to close th&lt;span id="mce_6_start"&gt;at&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;job&lt;span id="mce_3_start"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and this action must correspond with quickbooks, as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;This is where Method CRM can shine, the process to limit closing that job to one user can be acheived through customization in Method. &amp;nbsp;I would conceive 1-2 screens whereby your &lt;em&gt;closer&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;can view the details on each job, close as necessary and finish out the action with maybe an email out to t&lt;span id="mce_23_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;he customer/sales rep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you haven&amp;#39;t already you may want to consider speaking with a dedicated consultant who can help you with training, scoping and/or building the project entirely for you.&lt;span id="mce_25_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
