To convert miscellaneous labour lines:
In Service Point-of-Sale, create a WIP and add the miscellaneous labour line(s) to be used.
Complete the labour lines. (Clock on and off if workshop loading is being used)
In the WIP add the correct RTS code(s) and set these lines to status E (Extra).
Note: These lines must have time allowed.
Select the Convert miscellaneous labour lines option from the Tools menu.
