Labour Maintenance

A facility is available that allows you to add, amend or delete labour lines on menus. If you amend a manufacturer's menu, you are given the option to convert it to a dealer menu. Unless the manufacturer has specifically requested that you amend the menu, you should convert it to a dealer menu, otherwise your changes will be lost the next time data is uploaded and converted on the Autoline system.

Note: These facilities are only enabled if your manufacturer allows you to create and maintain menus.

• Add a labour line to a menu

• Delete a labour line from a menu
