# Why can't I put a task from an estimate into an existing job when both jobs are in the same project?

## Problem

You have a task on an estimate that you want to put into an existing job. Both the estimate and the job are part of the same project. The issue arises because the *sold by* information does not match between the estimate and the job.

## Solution

By ensuring the *sold by* information matches between the estimate and the job, you can successfully add a task from an estimate to an existing job within the same project.

### Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Go to the estimate page.
2. Click the edit next to the calculate button.
3. Scroll down to find the *sold by* field.
4. Change the *sold by* to match the *sold by* on the job you want to add the task to.
5. If the original technician who sold the estimate is different, you may need to temporarily change the *sold by* on the job to match the estimate, add the task, and then change the *sold by* back to the original technician.
