To view the labour charge values that have been defined for a specific labour charge field used by your company:

  1. Click the Setup tab.

  2. Under the Setup tab, click Department.

    Note: Your company may use one or more free-form labour charge fields. These labour charge fields do not require specific codes or values to be entered, so you do not need to define values for them. Any free-form labour charge fields used by your company will not be listed in the Labor Charge Fields section of the Setup subtab.

    A Labour Charge Values page (where Labour Charge is the name of the labour charge field you selected) opens and displays the labour charge field values that have been defined for the labour charge field you selected. For example, if you selected Department, a Department Values page opens and displays the specific department codes that have been created. The table below describes the information displayed for each labour charge field value.

    Tip: You can use the Search Options tools at the top of the page to search for a particular value by ID or Description.

    ID

    The ID code assigned to the labour charge field value. This is the code that a user enters in the labour charge field on the Timecard Manager, scheduling pages, and other ezLaborManager pages that use labour charge fields.

    Description

    A brief description of the labour charge field value.

    Start date

    The date on which a value became or will become available for use (assuming that the value is also marked as active). If this field is blank, the value is in effect until the end date (if defined), as long as the value is also marked as active.

    End date

    The last date on which a value was or will be available for use (assuming that the value is also marked as active). If this field is blank and the start day has passed (or a start day has not been defined), the value will be in effect as long as it is marked as active.

    Active status

    A green check mark indicates that this labour charge is active.

     

    Note: The start and end date and the "active" setting work together to determine whether a value is available for use. Irrespective of whether a start and/or end date has been specified, a value must be marked as active in order to be available for use. If a start and/or end date has been specified for a value, the value will only be available for use if the current date falls within the defined start/end date range and the value is marked as active. See Editing Labour Charge Field Values for information about changing the effective dates and active status of a value.
