Lesson 11 – Assigning Labour Units Scroll down What You Will Learn • How to add labour units to a several items at the same time using Edit Labour by Size. Getting Started Why "Edit Labour by Size"? Most Labour Unit systems base their estimated time to install values on the size and number of the joints for each fitting. Similar sized fittings with the same number of joints are given the same labour unit value. Winpriser’s Edit Labour by Size function allows you to group items of similar size and joints together and to apply a common labour unit to all items in the group in one operation.
Lesson 1
1 Change the Catalogue Detail window to Labour Units Properties view. Use the View Selection box at the top right corner of the Catalogue:
2 Open the Edit Labour by Size window by clicking on the Item | Edit Labour by Size menu option from the Catalogue Lookup menu.
OR by using a local popup menu
Click in the Catalogue Lookup window (left side of Catalogue window) with the right mouse button to activate the local popup menu. Select Edit Labour by Size. The Edit Labour by Size window will appear.
3 For this example we will assume that all 1.25" to 2" ABS/DWV two joint fittings (i.e. elbows, couplings, etc) will have a labour unit value of 0.1 hours (6 minutes). All 1.25" to 2" three joint fittings will have a labour unit value of 0.15 hours (9 minutes). Click on the down arrow at the right end of the Groups field. Click on ABS/DWV FITTINGS.
All sizes of all ABS/DWV Fittings will be listed in the Sizes field.
4 In this example we will be assigning labour units to all sizes from 1.25" to 2". Click on 1.25 in the Sizes field to highlight this size.
5 Scroll down the list of sizes until you reach the last 2" size in this case 2x4. Press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard while you click on 2x4. This will cause all sizes between 1.25 and 2x4 to be highlighted.
6 Click on the Load Sizes button to load all ABS/DWV Fittings of the selected sizes into the Labour Assignment Queue.
7 We will assign a labour unit to two joint fittings first. Scroll down the Labour Assignment Queue and remove the checkmark from any fitting that does NOT have two joints. When you are finished only two joint fittings will be checkmarked.
8 Enter our sample labour unit for two joint fittings (0.100) in System 1 and click the Apply button.
The labour unit will be applied to all checkmarked fittings.
9 Now we will return to the Labour Assignment Queue and select three joint fittings. Click on the "Reverse Checkmarks" button.
The Remove All The Delete The Options
All items that were checkmarked will have their checkmark removed. All unchecked items will have a checkmark applied.
10 Scroll down the Labour Assignment Queue and remove the checkmark from any fitting that does NOT have three joints.
11 Enter our sample labour unit for three joint fittings (0.150) in System 1 and click the Apply button.
The labour unit will be applied to all checkmarked fittings.
12 Click the Close button to return to the Catalogue Lookup window. Lookup several ABS/DWV Fittings and note that the labour units have been assigned.
