Price lists for labor and expenses consumed in CAR are set up based on service category. You can define as many service categories as you need, each representing a particular kind of labor or expense charge.

Other factors can be considered in the search for labor and expense prices:

For example, the price for installation labor may be different than repair labor. If service group and product line are included when prices are set up, they refer to the service group and product line of the item being repaired. This is different than for item price lists, where service group and product line refer to the item being consumed.

If no price is found for the labor or expense, it defaults to zero and must be specified manually. Amount type D cannot be used for labor/expense prices since they do not have a “list” price like items in the item master.
