Field | Description |
---|---|
ID Type |
Select the appropriate ID type for the labor transaction entered. Valid options are:
|
Employee |
If the ID Type selected was Employee, enter the appropriate ID number for the employee you want to use for this transaction. Costpoint uses the ID Type and Employee to determine the billing rate. |
Vendor |
If the ID Type selected was Vendor, enter the appropriate vendor for this transaction. Costpoint uses the ID Type and Vendor to determine the billing rate. |
Vendor Employee |
If the ID Type selected was Vendor Employee, enter the appropriate vendor employee for this transaction. Costpoint uses the ID Type and Vendor Employee to determine the billing rate. |
Name |
Enter the name you want identified with the labor transaction. Costpoint defaults in the employee, vendor, or vendor employee name if it is found in Costpoint. You can, however, add labor records for vendor, vendor employee, or employee IDs that are not set up in Costpoint. |
GLC |
If you have entered an Employee, enter the General Labor Category (GLC) you want identified with this labor transaction. The description for the GLC is displayed automatically and cannot be modified. |
PLC |
If you are entering labor for a T&M project, you must enter a PLC so that Costpoint can select the billing rate for the transaction. Costpoint defaults in the PLC description from the project. However, you can modify the description. If you do not sort your labor billing by project labor category, modifying the description does not modify the way the labor prints on the bill. |
