Enter, or click Lookup to select, a project to which you want to apply vendor hour ceilings.

Enter, or click to select, the vendor (subcontractor) to which the ceiling hours apply. The same vendor can appear more than one time in this column, as long as a separate Labor Category is identified.

If you selected the Project Work Force Required check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, only vendors set up on the Manage Vendor Work Force screen are valid for data entry in this field.

If you selected the Use Top Level Work Force check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, only vendors set up in the Project Vendor Work Force at the top level of the project are valid for data entry. Please note that the revenue and billing programs look at or below the revenue and billing levels for the vendor hours ceilings. The Use Top Level Work Force check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow does not influence the placement of the ceilings. This check box is only for PLC validation and defaulting. Otherwise, all vendors are valid for data entry.

This is a required field.

This column displays the name of each vendor displayed in the Vendor column. The vendor name is defined on the Manage Vendors screen.

Enter, or click to select, the Project Labor Categories (PLCs) to which ceiling hours are applied.

Before selecting the Project Work Force Required check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, you must have already set up the vendor PLC on the Assign PLC to Vendor Work Force subtask of the Manage Vendor Work Force screen for the project.

You should set up the PLC for the vendor on the Assign PLC to Vendor Work Force subtask of the Manage Vendor Hour Ceilings screen for the top level of the project before selecting the Project Work Force Required and the Use Top Level Work Force check boxes on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow.

If you did not select the Project Work Force Required check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, any PLC set up on the Manage Project Labor Categories (PLC) screen is valid for data entry.

This is a required field.

Enter the ceiling hours for the Vendor/Labor Category combination. Ceiling hours can be a positive number or zero. A blank is translated to a "0.00" hour ceiling. To ensure that no ceiling hours are imposed for a given combination, make no entry on that row.
