On the Tools tab of the Compatible Units Library screen, a user is able to specify the amount of time required for any tools to be used when performing the work detailed by the compatible unit library record. On this tab, both Tool and Hours Required are required fields. Only tools that have been made as available for compatible units will be displayed in the Tool lookup on this tab.
When a tool is associated to a compatible units library record, the system considers the CU Standard Rate defined for the tool on the Tools tab of the Departments screen for the department of the compatible units library header when determining costs. In addition, should the user wish to manually override the CU standard rate; a value may be specified in the Rate Override field.
Much like the Labor or Parts tabs, the Tools tab of the Compatible Units Library screen provides the ability for the user to specify tools for the compatible units library record which apply only under specific scenarios/circumstances. When entering a tool record, the user may also specify Action Type and up to ten possible Tools Adjustment fields (Tools Adjustment 0-9).
