Enter a work order line quantity

The hours to be billed on a shop invoice can 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. These incremental quantities are defined in specific tables at the customer and customer class levels, and these tables are only checked if a quantity is entered for the work order line, in which case they will be checked first. Any hours found on the tables will override the hours to be billed on the invoice to the customer. If nothing is found, the customer standard billing hours table will be checked.
