Billing Labor Modify Dialog Box

Use the Billing Labor Modify dialog box to modify labor transaction details, such as the transaction date or hours.

If you use the Multicurrency feature, the employee's cost rate uses the functional currency of the employee's home company (specified via organization codes). If this currency differs from the billing currency, Vision translates the cost rate to the billing currency to drive cost-based billing.
