Similar to the way the Superintendents add labor to Jobs. Perhaps this would be good for SSO, or could be directly in Sage
Shop employees need a way to be able to track time and add labor for time spent on Equipment for Maintenance.
This is extremely important.
I'm surprised more people are not affected by this.
INternal shop employees need to have their time added to Payroll. Without this feature there is no way to track time by equipment, thus adding more time to manually update this information at the payroll screen, when it could be automated, and easily tracked by the shop employee themselves.
This is so important to us -- I will pay for this feature alone

Please vote for this idea - if you have trouble tracking shop employee time and allocating it to pieces of equipment.
This is for Owned Equipment Maintenance performed by internal shop employees.
Very important. Will pay for this feature. Thank you!
Steven, this is a major issue for us, too, but we use inexpensive and simple timekeeping software that lets our full-time shop mechanic do this. We have a low-budget, low-tech setup, too - it's not like we're using cloud hosting or integration or anything. It's the same thing our field guys use, and it's like $5 / person / month. He just switches the equipment he is working on, and the payroll transfer picks it all up and allocates it. It seems like this would easily fix the problem for you.
What I wish, is that there was a way for our shop guy to allocate materials expenses directly to equipment, like parts, including those we keep in our small inventory. We could use sub-accounts on each of 6 related expense accounts on the back end - but, we're going to have our shop guy start doing accounting??
