Linking with a Job Description

You are able to link a kit to a job description, this means that when you first add a job description at the point of creating a job the Kit will post into the job

Go to maintenance > Job Descriptions, choose the Job Description and change/double click

Click on he Links Tab and search for the Kit by using the Ellipses (box with three dots)

Linking transactions to a Kit

Other transactions in the job can be linked to the kit as well.

This can be beneficial if you only want the customer to see one "kit" transaction - see #3 - summarise on invoice.

1. Right click over the transaction
2. Click on the kit

You can also un-select/un-link transactions in the same manner 

Warrant of Fitness Kits

• Has Text saying: (or something similar)
  Vehicle checked for Warrant of Fitness
  in accordance with Ministry of transport regulations
• A "WOF" Labour Category should be set-up - see [SAM] - Creating Labour Categories/Rates

  • This will make it easier to edit/change rates in the future &
  • You will have more accurate Job Margins. 

Only Technicians who are certified should have this rate

• 45 min is 3/4 of an hour, which means $75.00 is 3/4 of the hourly rate
