This is the actual labor record in the work order. It is only stored in this work order.
Enter the number of hours for this job. Hours are decimal hours. If you have hours and minutes, click on the Time button, and enter the time in hours and minutes and it will convert it to decimal hours for you. For instance, 1 hour and 15 minutes will convert to 1.25 hours.
Choose the category for this kind of labor by clicking on the icon to the right of the category field.
Type a description of the Work Done.
Click on the technician look-up button to select the tech. (This comes in automatically if you have selected a tech in the RO)
Enter the rate per hour. (This comes in automatically if setup in the company setup area).
If you choose a flat rate by clicking on the flat rate button, the Hourly Rate changes to the Flat Rate and the total is the Flat Rate. Number of hours is irrelevant as far as calculating the total.
Click on OK when finished.
The 10 you see at the top is just the order in how it falls into the list of labor items. They are usually numbered 5 apart. You can ReNumber on the browse screen.
Click on the Labor Login to add labor logs to this labor item. This helps track actual working hours. If you track your labor hours, the program will calculate your ELR, or Effective Labor Rate. This is total amount billed divided by total tech hours.
The hours will add in to the Actual Hours. If the tech has a rate in the tech file, it will be added to the hourly cost. If there is a global commission it will be calculated here. If the tech has a commission, it will override the global commission and add in here. If you're not using labor logger to calculate your hourly costs, you can just type it in. Just don't click on the Labor Login button or it will overwrite what you just typed into the labor cost.
Click on the More Tab in the Labor screen. Here is a Video Link specifically for YouTube Video's. Click on the film icon and it will take you to a YouTube Video you have saved, or just to YouTube if your video link is blank. Click Here for more information.
You can also type in the 'Issue' which is the reason the customer brought in the unit in the first place. The issue is NOT printed on most invoices as of this writing, so you may need to pick a Report manager invoice and modify it. It will of course print it on our Invoice 16 or the report manager invoice #116.
For Start Date/Time and Complete Date/Time, you can right click on the dates and the dates and times will be filled in with the current date and time in the Labor Browse. Right click on the Time, and the time will be filled in with the current time. You can also use the calendar icon to select a date. You will have to type in the time. You can right click on the labor item from the browse and it will give you a menu to auto fill in the Start or Complete date/times.
The icon next to the Actual Work Time Hours will copy the hours from the Actual hours, which is either typed in, or an accumulation of the labor logs.
