Vehicle model codes identify a vehicle on a Point-of-Sale WIP record so that the allowed time for that labour operation on that model is available for the work to be accurately costed.
The Create Model form enables you to create a model code record.
To create a model code record:
Click Models on the Labour codes/times maintenance form.
The Models form is displayed.
Click Create.
The Create Model form is displayed.
Enter the new Model code and Description, and do one of the following:
If you want the new model code record to have a new identity linking labour times with labour codes, select the New slot option button and, if you know of a model from which you can copy labour times, specify it in the Copy times from selection box, then click OK.
If you do not want the new model code record to have a new identity linking labour times with labour codes, select the Share times with option button and specify the model whose labour times the new model is to use in the Share times with selection box, then click OK.
If the New slot option button is selected but you have not entered a model in the Copy times from selection box, you are prompted to do so.
The new model code record is created and you are returned to the labour codes/times maintenance form in the same state as it was when you displayed the Models form.
This form is displayed when you click Create on the Models form. It enables you to create a model code record.
