Subsystem: The two-character identifier for the subsystem that supplied the code.
Part/Labour type: The Labour Type code supplied by the subsystem
Description: Description of the Labour Type (for reference purposes).
Rate Type: The subsystems provide eight possible labour rates for each line. This field defines which one should be used.
POS Labour Type: The labour rate code that should be used on any labour lines.
Use SO Rate?: Should the actual labour rate used be from the Create WIP function or be provided by the subsystem. Normally N, except on extras-type lines, where a one pound per hour rate is used.
Total Type: Used by the Bodyshop Estimating software to define what 'type' of line this is, and how it should be grouped for totalling purposes. For example, all parts are type 8, meaning that any parts total displayed are made up from all lines with a Total type flag of 8.
