Welcome to the Sage Construction and Real Estate products Support Group on Community Hub! Available 24/7, the Forums are a great place to ask and answer product questions, as well as share tips and tricks with Sage peers, partners, and pros.
Since it looks like you are using Sage 100 Contractor, I am going to move your post to that Support Group so that other users of this software will see it and can offer their thoughts and insight.
Hi Heidi,
You don't understand how Sage works, do you?
You have to purchase the Equipment Module.
Then you need to pay $75 for each chapter of the User Manual you want.
Then you need to renew your subscription every year, just for smiles and giggles.
Then you need to endure countless Support Personnel informing you that you'll have to pay a Consultant if you want to do rudimentary things like get a report to print.
Good luck!
Aloha Heidi,
If your company has a lot of heavy equipment that you want to cost usage to jobs, then the equipment module is certainly a worthwhile investment to automate that process, as well as being able to track ongoing costs of owning/maintaining the equipment. If this is not the case, you could enter a journal transaction to reallocate costs you've been posting related to the costs of that equipment back up to direct expenses (you'd need to determine an appropriate "charge out" rate to allocate).
I'll reserve my comments about the remaining portion of previous answers, as this is not the forum for those types of comments....IMHO.
