Charge Equipment use to Jobs

SOLVED

Hi, we use Sage 100 Construction Canadian Version 19.5.

We are still in the setting up stage and have done a number of tests.  We currently use Sage 50 Quantum.

Under the equipment module we have entered a Cost Rates, Billing Rates, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly for a specific piece of equipment that we want to charge to the job.

The use of the equipment was recorded in the Daily Field Report and imported into the Daily Payroll 5-5-1.  On the line for the equipment there is no $ charge showing under the Cost Unit - it is greyed out and the Operated, Standby and Idle cells are white, but will not allow any entries.

Once posted, there is no charge in the job costing.

I have asked our training partner as was told to contact you as she is unavailable for a few days.

Can anyone help me determine what step we are missing.

Thank you in advance.

    About equipment allocation

    Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Equipment Module.

    Use the 8-4 Equipment Allocation window in conjunction with the 5-2-2 Payroll Records window to enter job and equipment cost records. You can enter the operated, standby, and idle time for equipment used at the job site, and you can enter equipment used to repair other equipment.

    In the 5-2-2 Payroll Records window, you can only enter the time an employee spends working at the job site or repairing equipment. When an employee operates equipment at the job site, enter the employee’s time in the 5-2-2 Payroll Records window. Then in the 8-4 Equipment Allocation window, enter the time spent operating the equipment.

    When the employee uses a piece of equipment to repair another piece of equipment, enter the equipment repaired and employee’s time in the Payroll Records window. Then in the 8-4 Equipment Allocation window, enter the equipment that was repaired and time spent operating the equipment used in the repair.
