Labor Catalog
Kirk Chisholm
Hi Rick. We're currently working on major improvements for labor. First, we are moving labor items to the catalog. Along with custom items too. But we're going to create a better solution for what I think you want to accomplish.
What I think you are saying is that you create a labor item for each type of product, and you probably assign different times to each. Let me know if I have that wrong.
We're going to allow you to attach labor items to products and categories. So you could add install labor with X hours, plus programming labor with Y hours to a TV for example. With this approach you don't need to create dozens and dozens of unique labor items. You can simply have one labor item for each labor type/rate you sell.
On top of this we're going to also allow you to attach accessories to items.

Kirk Chisholm: I was looking at labor as more a flat rate for easier pricing in the field. Like installing just speakers for a 7.1 surround system where everything is already wired. It's pretty much always going to be the same amount of labor to do it. It would be nice in the catalog just to have a way to organize all of these labor packages. So basically a way to categorize the labor like the products are.
