Customer class incremental hours table

It is possible to have the hours billed on a shop invoice be calculated based on a quantity entered on a work order line. For example, bill 3 hours for the first 4 feet of a container repair and 1/2 hour for every additional foot. In order to do this, incremental hours must be defined at the customer or customer class level.

2. Right-click on the customer class and select Incremental Hours. The Customer Class Incremental Hours display screen appears.
3. If necessary, click Show All/Selected to view all tasks.
4. Right-click on the task to have incremental hours and select Change. The Incremental Hours add screen appears.
5. Fill in the fields as required.
