As an administrator, you can delete labour charge field values that are not being used. Deleting a value removes it completely from your ezLaborManager database.

Note: You can only delete labour charge field values that are not being used and are not associated with employee records. If you want to prevent a labour charge value from being used in the future but you cannot delete it, or if you only want to make a value unavailable for a period of time, you can change the status of the value to inactive or change the start and end date for the value. See Editing Labour Charge Values for instructions.

To completely remove an unused labour charge value from your database:

  1. In Administrator Services, click the Administration tab then click the Setup subtab.

  2. Under the Labor Charge Fields heading, click the labour charge field (for example, Wage Rate Programs) for which you want to delete unused labour charge values.

    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 Wage Rate Programs, a Wage Rate Programs page opens and displays the specific wage rate programs that have been created.

  3. On the Labour Charge Values page, click the check box to the left of the ID for each value you want to delete.

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

    To select all of the listed values for deletion, click the check box in the header row.

  4. Click the Delete button.

  5. In the confirmation dialog box, click the OK button.
