Tracking time for equipment?

Hi all,

 

We use Quickbooks online and Quickbooks Time.  We have some expensive computers and software that doesn't get used often, but when it does, we'd like to track the usage of so that we can accumulate cost and bill for it as a separate line item on invoices.  Let's call this system "Hal9000".

 

One way to do this is to just have the operator write down 'start' and 'stop' time for using Hal9000, manually calculate the cost using some rate that we've established, and then add a line item on the invoice. This would work, but we'd like to explore another method.

 

Is there a way to set up a piece of equipment in Quickbook Online and Quickbooks Time such that a user could log Hal900 onto a project in QB Time, just like a normal user, and have Hal9000 rack up hours against a project?  I think this may be similar to what this question was getting at.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for bringing this question to us, ndt_bryce.

 

The option to track the usage of your computers and software to accumulate cost and bill for it as a separate line item on invoices is unavailable. In the meantime, you'll want to use the alternative you're already doing which is to manually calculate the cost using some rate that we've established and then add a line item on the invoice. This would work, but we'd like to explore another method.
