Description
The system charges the cost of the trade, based on an hourly rate, back to the appropriate work order, asset, or project, ensuring correct cost accounting. A single trade may have multiple rates based on the type of work performed or the department associated with the trade for a specific work order. Define standard trade rates for suppliers on the Supplier Rates page. On the Qualifications page, you may associate qualifications with trades to establish the minimum qualifications for an employee belonging to a trade to perform work for which the trade is selected.
When scheduling work, you can select to assign the work to an employee or a trade. When booking hours for the work, the system calculates the labor cost of the hours to book based on the trade rate defined for either the employee or the trade rate defined for the trade. Define rates for trades on the Rates page.
