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.

   • The Edit Customer Classes change screen appears.
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 fieldsfields as required.

   Accept Reverse only applies when width and length are entered. It will allows you to indicate that the reverse dimensions have the same values. For example, if the dimensions are 2x3 and the billing hours are the same for 3x2, set this to Yes. That way you don't have to set up both directions.

   Base Hours is the number of billing hours applicable for the base quantity, e.g. 3 hours.

   Base Quantity is the base quantity for the task, e.g. 4 feet.

   Equipment Group is a specific equipment group that the incremental hours apply to. It is optional. You can right-click in the field and select Prompt to select the group from a list.

   Height should only be used for square footage types of UOMs. Enrich will not validate this usage. If width and height are entered, length must be left blank.

   Incremental Hours is the number of hours to bill for each incremental quantity, e.g. 1/2 hour.

   Incremental Quantity - if the base quantity is exceeded, the incremental quantity will determine how much to bill for the excess, e.g. 1 foot.

   Length should only be used for square footage types of UOMs. Enrich will not validate this usage. If width and height are entered, length should be left blank.

   Maximum Hours is an optional maximum number of hours to be billed regardless of the calculation. For example, if the maximum is set to 7 hours and the calculation is 1 hour per foot and you enter a quantity of 10, the billing hours would be capped at 7.

   Mfg/Model is a specific equipment make and model that the incremental hours applies to. It is optional. You can right-click in the field and select Prompt to select the make and model from a list.

   UOM is the unit of measure for the quantity, based on the customer/VMRS/task; it is display only.

   Width should only be used for square footage types of UOMs. Enrich will not validate this usage. If width and height are entered, length must be left blank.
