BR03.1 - Labor Rates

**Form Purpose
Use Labor Rates (BR03.1) to define and maintain a labor rate table. Rate
tables determine the billing rate to be charged for labor hours during the
life of the activity.

**Process at a Glance

1. Use Attribute (MX00.1) to define the attribute.

2. Use GL05.1 to associate the attributes with the PW (Employee Payroll
Wages) or RS (Resource Entry) source code.

3. Use this form to identify the Rate Schedule for the Labor Attribute

4. Define billing parameters

**More Information
Define labor rates after you set up your billing parameters.

The labor attribute is associated with transactions by the PW or RS source
codes in GL05.1 (Source Code). You attach the labor attribute to the rate
schedule on this form and the rate schedule is attached to the activity.

You can also define billing rates based on units using Unit of Production
Rates (BR03.2). For example, you charge $5 for each nail. You must define the
unit of measure (the nail) in Units of Measure (AC17.1) as Units.

 Use AC17.1 to identify the unit of measure (the action of the activity) as
units or hours. For example, type Hours to indicate the standard cost relates
to the number of hours a contractor worked on the activity. Use the Assign
button to assign Hours units of measure to resources and the UOP button to
assign Units of measure to a rate schedule.

BR03.3 - Labor Category Assignment

**Form Purpose
Use Labor Category Assignment (BR03.3) to assign labor category values to an
activity or an activity and account category. This form is used to define
which labor category values can be used within an activity or within an
activity and account category.

These assignments are used with the Cost Plus billing method. Transactions
entered on Resource Journal Entry (AC41) will have these values edited online.
Other transactions will be edited by Activity Posting (AC190). If an invalid
value is entered on the transaction, it will appear in the AC190 error report.
A blank value is also considered an invalid value.
