I am looking for a set-up solution to facilitate allocating individual employee payroll expenses between Cost of Revenue accounts (COGS, but my company only provides services - no tangibles), and Operating Expense accounts. For example, in a given week an employee may spend a portion of their time on equipment maintenance work (labour associated with maintenance to Operating Expenses) and the balance on providing services to customers (labour directly associated with service provision to Cost of Revenue). Ideally, I would like to be able to capture this split at the time slip entry level. I have looked at payroll expense groups (it seems you can only assign an employee to one expense group - so that doesn't seen to work), departmental accounting (it seems you can only assign an employee to one department - so that doesn't seen to work), and can't seem to figure out a clean solution. Now, I'm new to bookkeeping and Sage so it's entirely possible I've overlooked something really rudimentary, but if anyone has any guidance on this issue, and proper COA and workflow set-up it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
