Technician Detail

The Technician Detail area (bottom part of display) is where you add/edit Technician Pay Hours and Actual Hours. By default, any time you add Labor to an order, the Default Technician for the order is credited with that time in both the Pay Hours and Actual Hours columns. You may change the Pay Hours or Actual Hours and/or select additional technicians for distribution of the hours. These hours are used on the Technican Worksheet and Technician Productivity Report .
