Selling Labour - Technicians or Mechanics
You can create Sub Categories that are defined as being labour items.
You can create one or many items in these sub categories for different
types of labour such as shop labour, warranty labour, installation
labour, etc. Each could have a different hourly rate. (Or unit rate
if you bill by 6 min increments) Or you could have different flat
rates for different types of work.
Optionally, when you sell a labour item, the system will ask you who
is doing the work. This will let you enter the technician or mechanic,
how much time they spent and how much time to bill for. Note that
this will then let your print productivity reports showing time spent
versus billed for different types of jobs and/or different technicians.
The system will then ask you for the description of what you did.
The comment can be typed in on the fly or you can call up and re-use
a canned comment in the system. If you perform a lot of repetitive
jobs such as oil changes, you can reuse the same comment instead of
typing it in over and over.
Generally speaking, the more you charge for the labour, the more you
want to justify your work to the customer. Windward makes this easy
by prompting you.
