The labour detail report is much the same as the Detailed parts WIP report except that it gives a detailed listing for labour on each work-in-progress record, sub-totals for each department and totals for all departments. The report is not available as part of Timed Operations but may be submitted as part of the report generator batch. Ideally, the report should not be run for all departments during peak trading times but may be run at any time for a single WIP number.
By default, this is a printable report sorted by department/WIP number/labour line number. A new page is forced on change of department and a sub-total is given on change of WIP number. When you run the report, you are given the option to output the report to an HTML directory or display the report. You are also asked if you want to produce the report for specific departments, or a specific WIP or account. The report shows all lines for the selected departments, WIP and account number, provided the load status is H, R, C, W or X and the line is not invoiced.
For each labour line, the following details are summarised on the report:
Labour line number
Load status
RTS code
Date the WIP was last edited
Menu flag (flagged M if this is a fixed price menu or * if the part is a menu item)
Labour type code
Contribution flag (flagged * if the labour line is subject to a contribution)
Contribution percentage
Time allowed
Labour rate
Gross value
Discount value
Net value
Time taken
Cost of labour
Profit amount
Profit margin percentage (Profit/Net)*100)
Mechanic
Efficiency. Is the job within the percentage variation for time allowed? (Flagged by a minus symbol if the time taken is less than the time allowed, a plus symbol if the time taken is greater than the time allowed, and left empty if they are equal.)
