Enhancement - T&M Labor Rate Changes with SDX

Product: Time & Material
   
Idea: T&M Labor Rate Changes

More information: T&M Labor Rate Changes

Enhancement Request: We have different labor rates for most of our customers which is cumbersome to update in Spectrum. Is there a way to import job labor and equipment rates into Spectrum?

Yes.  The issues we have is there are only 5 labor bill code line levels.  We have 20-30 custom T&M rate structures with clients.  We use “template” jobs to store the rates and copy from but keeping those rates up to date via manual entry in Spectrum is cumbersome.  The bill codes also need effective dates so we could enter multiple rates with effective and expiration dates similar to payroll union pay rates.  To me the best solution would be update labor bill codes to have more line levels; may 50 +.  Then also add a description so the line level could be named for reference and also the effective and expiration dates.  Then all of this “grid” could be easily updated with an SDX Excel template.
