The Labor tab summarizes labor charged to each Cost Code at a specific production rate. It displays a list of all Cost Codes used in the current bid. A Cost Code, or Labor Cost Code (LCC), identifies a particular type of labor being performed. These codes are normally broken out by UOM and production. So, the same cost code may be listed multiple times on the Labor tab, depending on the UOM and production rate for each condition.
Use the Section, Area, Cost Code and Condition Type filter fields located directly below the main tab to help filter the view.
Each column can be sorted by clicking the column header.
