If you have purchased the Equipment Management (EM) module, you can enter usage hours for equipment that was operated by an employee with service timecards in PR Timecard Entry.

1. Open the PR Company Parameters form and select the company to work with.
2. Click the on Equipment tab.
3. Select the Enter Equipment Usage with Time Cards checkbox.
4. Save the record.
5. Open a timecard batch in PR Timecard Entry.
6. From the Options menu, select Post Equipment Usage.

   This should display and enable the equipment usage fields (EM company, equipment, revenue code, etc.) and allow entry of equipment usage with each service timecard. If you do not see these fields in the grid, you will need to set the display options in PR User Grid Options (accessed via PR Timecard Entry by selecting Options > Customize Grids).

   Note: The EM Co and Equip fields display either before or after the Class field, depending on how you have set the Equipment Class Override option in PR Timecard Entry (Options menu). For more information, see Equipment Class Override .

   When you enter an employee’s time and specify a piece of equipment, the usage hours default the same as the employee’s hours; however, you can override this setting. The revenue code specified for the timecard line determines the Time UM that the usage hours represent.

   Once you save the timecard line, the system generates a work completed labor line and work completed equipment line for the work order in SM Work Orders (Work Completed grid). When you process payroll and run PR Ledger Update, the system updates the equipment usage as revenue to EM and as a cost to the work order in SM.

   Note: Work completed equipment lines generated from a timecard cannot be edited in SM; all edits must be handled via PR Timecard Entry. Additionally, work completed equipment lines entered in SM will not update labor entries (on timesheets or timecards) in Payroll.
