Why:
Special labour rates are created for contract maintenance vehicles. They’re branch specific so each branch can have its own unique contract rates.
Where:
From the Control Master File view, select Special Labour Rates. This will display the Special Labour Rate window.
How to Add Edit & Delete Special Labour Rate Codes:
The Special Labour Rate List window lists all special discounts set up for the branch. From here, new codes can be created and existing codes opened, viewed amended as well as deleted. When creating special labour rate codes, the system requires a ‘priority’. This allows a range of operations to be selected. However, individual ranges or operations can be prioritised within this, to apply a different rate (the lower the priority number, the higher the sequence). For example, if an entry is made with priority entry 20 for operation numbers in the range 1 to 4 with a labour rate of 50 and discount percentage of 1%, these operations will use a rate of 49.50 (50 – 1%). This applies, provided that the operation is coded to a contract payment code and the vehicle has been flagged to use these special rates. However if a specific operation within the range 1 to 4 (foe example 21035) has an entry with a higher priority (10) then that operation will use the rate from the specific entry.
