Contents of the Billing Labor Modify Dialog Box

Use the fields and options on this dialog box to modify employee labor transaction details and tax code overrides before you bill the transaction.

These fields prefill with the information already entered for the labor transaction. Change the information in any editable field as needed. These changes are not posted to the general ledger or the project. The changes affect only the billing invoice.

Category

Enter a different labor category code (number) for this transaction. This field prefills with the labor category code, if any, that is specified for the employee on the Employment Details tab of the Employees hub.

This field is applicable when the project's Labor Method and/or the First Labor Sort or Second Labor Sort is set to By Category on the Labor tab in the projects's billing terms.

In this field, you can do either of the following:

  • Select a labor category code from the drop-down list. These are the labor categories that are set up at the global level in Settings > Labels and Lists > Lists.
  • Enter a labor category code that was added to a billing labor category table in Settings > Rate Tables > Billing Labor Categories instead of being added in Settings > Labels and Lists > Lists.
Category Description

If you selected a labor category code from the drop-down list in the Category field, this field prefills with the description for the labor category. Only the labor categories that were entered in Settings > Labels and Lists > Lists display in the drop-down list in the Category field.

If you entered a labor category in the Category field that was added to a billing labor category table in Settings > Rate Tables > Billing Labor Categories instead of selecting a labor category from the drop-down list in that field, no description prefills in the Category Description field.
