We have recently started using the Mobile PC and have found out that only Project related entries can be entered. We would like for all our employees to use, which include the shop personnel. The shop personnel work on equipment so their time would need to be allocated to equipment and not a project. Additionally, the employees either field or shop would have non-project time to record such as meetings or cleaning their trucks (which would be coded to equipment). Not allowing non-project entries on the mobile PC causes employees to be short paid because there is no where to assign this time.

Agreed. Allow other "Transaction Types" than just Projects to be entered in PC mobile. It is common for field employees to have time that should go to Indirect Costs (GL 6000) instead of Direct Costs (GL 5000) for time unrelated to a project. As a work-around, users have set up Projects in the companies name to record time however this does not reflect correctly on the income statement and a Journal entry needs to be performed to move costs.
