Labor Codes allow you to describe all the types of Labor performed by your Company (e.g. General Maintenance, Site Layout, Drain Repair, etc.).
These predefined Labor Codes when used on Work Order Item Detail lines (as generally described in the Work Order, Items Tab - Labor) save time, give precise information, and also can be used to control Pricing.
| • | Provide default for Labor Description |
| • | Serve as a Repair Guide, with "internal user description" of work entailed |
| • | Provide default for Labor Rate - optional (according to the Pricing Controls involved, as discussed in Pricing Example using Labor Code.) |
Setting up a Labor Code:
| • | On the Work Menu at the top of the screen, click the Work Order down-arrow, and select Labor Codes. |
| • | The smaller-size Lookup screen will appear. (To add or change a record, see Small Lookup, Add or Edit.) |
| • | Next, the Labor Code Details screen will appear. This screen has a second Tab for Notes. |
Screen fields:
Labor Code:
Required. The abbreviated name for this Labor Code, according to the groupings suitable for your Company.
Description:
The default Description of the work that will appear on the Labor Item detail line when recording Work Order transactions and will then appear on the Customer Invoice. (You are allowed to override this later or combine Item details into Line Groups).
Internal Desc:
A free-form text field describing this Labor Code for viewing by users in your Company. You can store useful information here that may help with this type of work.
Optional. If you specify a Labor Rate on a Labor Code, this becomes the default for the Labor Item detail line when recording Work Order transactions. (For advanced work with how the system determines which Labor Rate should be used, see Pricing Tables.)
Is Active:
Use the checkbox to indicate currently used by your Company. If you later remove the check-mark making this field Inactive, this entry will still show on older records where it has already been used, but will not be available for use in the future.
The default for the Lookup screen is to show Only Active records. You can remove the check-mark from the select-box on that screen and view all.
When complete:
Click OK to save your entries and exit the screen.
