In ClickTime, finance defines CapEx and OpEx classification rules using custom fields on time entries. When employees log time, they select the appropriate classification based on the project or activity—so labor is categorized at the point of collection rather than reclassified at month-end. This gives finance teams defensible records that reflect how time was actually spent, not how it was estimated after the fact.

CapEx labor refers to employee time spent on work that creates or improves a long-term asset—such as internal software development, facility buildouts, or major infrastructure projects. OpEx labor covers ongoing operational activities like maintenance, support, and administration. The distinction matters for financial reporting because capital expenditures are capitalized on the balance sheet and depreciated, while operating expenses hit the income statement immediately.

Auditors need to verify that capitalized labor is properly documented—who did the work, when, on which project, and under what classification. When organizations reconstruct this documentation after the fact, the records are often incomplete or inconsistent. ClickTime creates an audit trail at the point of entry, with timestamps, approval workflows, and full change history on every record, so documentation exists before auditors request it.

Yes. ClickTime is designed to work alongside your ERP—not replace it. Data export integrations map classified labor costs directly to your general ledger entries or transfer structured data into platforms like SAP, NetSuite, or your existing financial analysis tools. This eliminates the double entry that creates friction and leads to inaccurate CapEx records.
