Update Unit Cost	Change the Unit Cost by the percentage set for all filtered records on the Labor Tab. This cannot be undone although you can enter in a negative percentage to return to original values.
Change Wage Type	You can change the Wage Type (Open, Union, etc.) for all selected rows. For Example, you may use this option if you create a template Bid using Union wage-type and are pricing an Open wage-type project. Caution When you change the Wage Type, Indirect Expenses for all modified Cost Codes will be reset to Default, if specified, or removed, if not specified in Default settings. Each Wage Type uses its own Indirect Expense rates - they do not carry over from one Wage Type to another, even if you have adjusted them on the Markups Tab. (Example, if you set up Indirect Expenses for "Union" Wage Type, they are not applied to a Bid that is set to "Open" Wage Type.)
Labor Adjust	Select multiple Labor records and manually set the hours needed or production rates. See QB 4.99 - 10.01 Making Adjustments to Labor Cost and Production for more information on adjusting Labor.
