Assign PLC to Vendor Employee Workforce Subtask

Use this subtask to assign Project Labor Categories (PLCs) to each vendor employee who is a member of the vendor employee workforce for a specific project.

You must first set up project labor categories on the Manage Project Labor Categories (PLC) screen.

Use this subtask to assign PLCs to employees of the vendor employee workforce. After you assign PLCs, maintain this subtask only when modifications are required.

Default PLC

Select this check box to have this PLC default into the timesheet when this vendor employee works on this project. Since you can set up multiple PLCs for each vendor employee/project combination, you must specify which PLC is the timesheet default.

For any given vendor employee/project combination, there must be at least one PLC with this check box selected. If this check box is clear, the PLC does not default, but is available for when you enter employee timesheets. This field does not affect employee labor entered via journal entries, since no PLC defaults are offered for journal entries.
