When inputting work order items, they automatically show as M - Materials for resource type even though they could be Labor, Materials, Equipment, Sub, Other to have the ability to change to one of those options and to reflect when viewing the work order items. See image for reference.
Hi David,
We're the client that Ariel filed on behalf of. These items were added to the Work Order from the Estimate. In the estimate, it shows the correct Cost Type as "S". For the work items that should be showing "S" (all of the items with "Labor" in them), there is nothing entered in the cost rate/sell rate in the Cost Database for "M", only "S". Because those items show the correct resource type in the estimate and we imported from there, we thought they would show the same resource type in the WO. The items in the estimate are brought in from the Cost Database and belong to an assembly.
Ariel:
Are the work orders defaulting to M for Materials, or are they somehow changing the Cost Type to Materials? Are the items in the Work Order items imported from Work Items in the Cost Database? Are these actual costs tagged to the Work Order?
