Labour time code: Identifies a labour operation for the manufacturer
Description_1 to _6: Type of repair entered on the WIP when you enter a line using this Labour time code
Labour rates: If this is blank, any labour rate code can be used in Point-of-Sale. If more than one code is entered, the system validates the code entered on the Labour page against this list and warns you if it is not valid. If only one code is used, the system overwrites the code entered on the Labour page with the code entered here. Labour rate codes are created in the Point-of-Sale Miscellaneous options, Labour rates option.
Deflt time allowed: Default allowed time for the Labour time code. If required, you can specify different allowed times for various vehicle models in a table. If a vehicle not contained in the vehicle models table is subsequently loaded onto a WIP, the system uses the default allowed time entered here. The allowed time may be altered at the time a job is booked in or at the time of costing the job.
Manual input code?: One of:
Y: Manually-created labour time codes
N (or blank): Not manually created
Load type: Workshop load group
VAT rate: Rate of VAT, S for example
Unit description: Unit of time, HOUR for example
Mins per unit: Number of minutes in the unit of labour. For example, if HOUR is the Unit description, Mins per unit is normally 60.
Note: Sales values are calculated as the allowed time multiplied by the labour rate per hour multiplied by Mins per unit divided by 60.
