If you assign a PLC to a project in this screen, you can enter project billing rates for that PLC in the following screens: Project PLC Rates (Projects » Project Setup » Project Labor), Project PLC Rates by Employee/Vendor (Projects » Project Setup » Project Labor), or the Billing Rates subtask of the Set Up Project Labor Categories (PLC) screen. Once you use this screen to assign PLCs to a project, no other PLCs will be valid for charging to the project.
