Why:
When a new mechanic joins a dealer, his details must be added to the Mechanic Master File so that time recording can be performed. This then allows costs, efficiency and productivity to be measured. It also allows the system to calculate his paid hours correctly.
Where:
From the Mechanic View, select
File > New or click the New button 
. This will display a Create New Mechanic
Details window.
How to Create New Mechanics:
In the Create New Mechanic Details window input a unique identifying number for the new mechanic and his name then click OK. A Mechanic Maintenance window is then displayed where you need to add details about his shift, department, pay rate, skill factor etc.
If your company uses access codes for security you will also have to enter a unique access code for the Mechanic to use in on-line time recording.
What else would you like to do?
Deleting a Mechanic from the Mechanic Master File.
Setup:
Use of access codes for mechanic security is controlled by parameter REC 701.
