Set the Item Code for each labor area that affects rating. You can also control if the type is associated to a Sales Team Split by setting the corresponding flag. | |
Establish service units to determine the anticipated crew and equipment needs on a Local Services request. This information is utilized in dispatching through Local Dispatch and computing rating data for Job Costing and Import Actuals. | |
