We have a user that is clocking into two operations on one job at the same time and we would like those Labor Hours to be split between the two operations.
I have seen the “Use Estimates” checkbox, however, I feel like that is used when multiple people are logging into the same operation.
Any suggestions or Ideas welcome,

Labour cost is normally like the recovery rate, which is the depreciation, heat & light, wages PPE etc for the machine, rather than just the individuals labour cost.
how will that work with actual v planned, what costing method are you using?
a quick dirty method is to halve the operation time and add a queue time, but i am guessing this is ad-hoc
Mr. Andy: thank you for the reply.
Our costing is Average.
In my simple mind I guess that if one user can work on two different operations on Different jobs - why can’t the single uer be logged into two operations on the same job?

If you have two (or more jobs) and a user clocks into them, the system will automatically dispurse the labor out to those jobs… so if they clock into 4 jobs for 1 hour, then each job will get 15 minutes.
If you log into one job for an hour, and then after an hour, you log into a second job, and work another hour… and at the end of that hour, you clock out of both jobs at once, then the system will give 1.5 hours to the first job, and 0.5 hours to the second job. The system spreads the time fairly. There is nothing you need to do to the jobs or the routings to get this to happen.
BUT… for Burden, there are different setups… you can have the burden be associated with the hour charged, or other options, but I would encourage you to look at the costing help files because there are lots of little fiddly settings that can be done for burden.
Mr. Tim: Thank you so much for the reply.
For our situation we have the same person logging into two operations on the SAME JOB i.e. He/she logs into the Staging Operation AND the Saw Operatoin (made up scenario) on the same job at the same time. We would like to see that users time split between the two operations.
We do see that if the user logs in to (or clocks into 
) two different jobs at the same time - yes the hours are divided.
Do we have something setup incorrectly?

I would have expected that if a single user clocks into two different operations on the same job that it would split the time just like if they were clocked into two different jobs. If this is not the behaviour you are experiencing, please log a case with support, as you might have found a bug. This woul dnot be an enhancement.. it should do this correctly.
Mr. Tim: Again thank you for your time.
I will verify and setup a scenario in Pilot (just in case they want to test out our setup).
