I would like to suggest that Sage add a field in the "Labor Distribution to Jobs"  info that included a "Labor Account" to be charged.  This would be for Job Costing purposes only and should not reflect on the employees check stub.  

For example:  if the field was added, the "labor account" could be used for separating costs like: "50010 - Direct Labor Excavation" or "50020 - Direct Labor Plumbing" , etc.  if this were achievable, it would nearly eliiminate the need for phase and cost code entry that is redundant to the already available and necessary chart of accounts.   I would love to discuss this more fully with a developer.  25 year Sage customer here that would like to continue growing with Sage.
