Would like to give a huge thanks to lubos and tut for their huge efforts to deliver this app into this amazing results and for listening and helping every user.
First i need to know how could i enter my new Laser cutting machine operating cost, since in every minute consumed i need to detect it and to be deducted and calculated in my expenses, although i have tried several solutions but at the end there was something wrong
Reasons
i need to enter a transaction expense for every order
i need to know how much did I consumed
i need to be ready when i will need to buy a new laser tube for example.
every order is already depreciating the machine tube.
At the end i need a way to see the consumption for the machine in my expenses sheet order by order.
Although i know the cost per minute for using this machine.
You could use Non-Inventory Item and Custom Report
Record the hours when entering sales transactions.
Then depreciate the machine, at the end of each reporting period, based on hours used.
Your answer is the right and most suitable solution for my situation although I cannot put the laser Cutting as a separate column in a sales invoice “in my corporate” they need it to be combined with whatever the item in the inventory. so what i did is that i’ve created a non-inventory item with a 0 Purchase & Sales Pricr and then i have created a “Laser Machine” on my suppliers list and i will issue it with a purchase invoice for every future project separately with a 0 Zero amount but with adding the right time consumed “qty”, then by creating a custom report i will be able to calculate the time consumed without affecting the purchase amount or expenses values!
After like every 6 Months i will deduct for ex:”1000minute * 1$ = 1000$“ from my Fixed asset “Laser Machine” as an Operation Depreciation Costs.
So much Thanks AJD you Lighted up the idea and solved this situation!
That’s what I am expecting from you all, Perfect as Always!
