Posting payroll so that it goes into job reports

SUGGESTED
Posted By

I have been using Peachtree/Sage for 18 years, and in my entire career, to process payroll I've always just gone to tasks > payroll entry, and then posted the hours for whoever worked.  Obviously then this won't show up on reports, so I've created spreadsheets.  Starting in 2016, I'd like to be able to actually use Sage for what it can actually do for me, and rely less on spreadsheets.

How do I input the hours from my guys in the field so that it shows up in job reports?  I went to tasks > time expense > time tickets, and it looked like this might be where to go, but then when I get to activity item, there is nothing there.  I tried creating one, but it takes me to Maintain Inventory items, and there are already a bunch of things there.  I just don't know where to go from here.


Any help is appreciated!  :)

Thank you,
Erin

    Nice! Glad you have picked up on the functionality.

    If you go to the top of the paycheck, there is a little job button. When you click on it, you can spread the hours to the appropriate job.

    Thank you! I had never even paid attention to all the little tabs on the top of that. To use payroll through time tickets though, is that just way different? I liked how in the time tickets you could put how much payroll cost you wanted to put to the job, that way I can add different amounts that my guys cost me into it. Thank you so much!

    To enter Time Cards you must have an Activity Item set up in Inventory. Make sure the Item Class is "Activity". The Activity Items allows you to bill your customers for different types of activities your employees do on the jobs. You don't have to use the customer billing. For the Employees that get hours posted to Jobs, in Maintain Employees change their Pay Method under Pay Info to Hourly Time Ticket. Now you can enter the time cards. To post the time to the Job you have to run payroll. When you run payroll be sure to enter the correct date in the "Pay Periods Ends" field. This will bring up all the hours you entered into Time Tickets for that period and allocate the hours and amounts to the Job (see Job button at top of screen).
