Labor records are useful for tracking labor, analyzing labor, and recovering labor costs that are associated with assets or parts under warranty. When you create a labor record, you enable a person to report time against a work request. For each person you create who performs work, you should create a related labor record. Optionally, you can relate a labor record to a predefined craft record.
Labor records can contain personal and work-related information, crafts, as well as the type and location of work.
Crafts are used to identify standard rates for crafts in forecasting budget requirements. With crafts in place, you can create job plans identifying the skill type that is required for each task, which helps in planning, scheduling, and assigning work.
Before you create a labor record, you must create a corresponding person record.
