In the Crafts application, you associate labor records with an
existing craft. Crafts that are associated with labor indicate the skills
that the laborer has. When you manage assignments, you can find available
laborers with the appropriate skills.
About this task
For a work order, specifying a skill level helps to determine the
rate that is charged by the labor code, based on the level of expertise. When
you specify a skill level, the standard rate for the skill level overwrites
the craft rate in the
Standard Rate field and
Rate field.
Procedure
- In the Crafts application, select the craft record with which you
want to associate a labor record.
- Click the Associated Labor tab.
- Click New Row.
- Specify values for labor, skill level, and rate.
- Optional: To have the labor rates default to the rate
and rate type from the standard and premium pay rates, select the Inherit check
box. When the check box is selected, the Rate field
becomes read-only.
- Optional: Specify a vendor and a contract. You
can associate a labor record with a contracted rate only if the contract is
approved.
- Save your changes.
