Canned Job Question

[ShopManTim]

Here in our shop we use different labor price levels. For example: Vehicles including cars, vans, and pk trucks up to and including 1/2 ton are one labor rate. Trucks and vehicles 3/4 ton and up are a different labor rate. Can I build canned jobs using different labor rates? When ever I want to build a canned job for trucks 3/4 ton and up, the system wants to use the lower labor rate. My objective for doing it this way would be so that i can bring up a report based on the different labor rates.

You don't need to build canned jobs for the different rates. Build one canned job with the correct labor time. If you set those vehicles to the correct corresponding rate, then when the canned job is added, the rate will apply automatically.

Let's say that pickups are a different rate. You would pre-emptively set that rate for the vehicle. Under the vehicle tab, click on Type and set the rate for that vehicle. ALL labors brought in will use that rate.
