Entering Labour Rates and IDBCs with Partnerships drop-down Box

Labour Rates

1. Make sure that no contract, partnership or community is selected in the Partnerships drop-down box.
2. Enter labour rates.
3. Select either Per hour or Per WU as the unit used to calculate labour rates.
   • You cannot select Per hour as the unit for labour rates and the Per WU for paint rates. The unit you select for labour rates is also used for paint rates.

Paint Rates

1. Select a paint method from the Paint Methods drop-down box.
2. Enter a paint rate in the Rates field.

Notes:

- A threshold may have been configured for your organisation that determines whether per hour or per WU is used as the rate unit. If the value you enter exceeds the threshold, the system will ask you if you wish to change the unit to per hour. If you click Yes, the system will change the unit to per hour. If you click No, the unit will remain as per WU. If the value you enter is equal to or less than the threshold, the system will ask you if you want to change the unit to per hour. If you click Yes, the system will change the value to per hour. If you click No, the unit will remain as per WU.

- The default value in the Unit drop-down is determined by your configuration. It is also possible that the default value will differ depending on the manufacturer of the identified vehicle.

ID Block Codes

1. Click ID Block Code. A dialog box displays, listing codes grouped into categories.
2. Select a code by selecting the tickbox for that code. De-select a code by clearing the tickbox. In the example below, block code 40 has been selected.

   

3. Click:

   - Add to confirm your selections.

   - Cancel to return to the Labour rates page.

4. For each selected ID Block Code, enter a value in the Value field.

Notes:

- Some IDBCs have a default value, which you can either accept or edit.

- The system automatically prevents you from selecting ID Block Codes that conflict. In the above example, the system has greyed out codes 42, 45, 51, and 81.

- If displayed, click to view information about the ID Block Code.

- In some configurations, the Labour Rates page includes the TypeDAT Info button. Clicking this button displays information about the selection of labour rates and ID Block Codes.
