Managing Labor Rates

Every repair operation code is associated with a repair time and labor rate. When a repair is carried out on the vehicle using the repair time and the labor rates of the repairer, the labor charges for the claim can be calculated. Labor rates are dealer specific. Siebel Automotive allows you to maintain the labor rates for each dealer individually. This topic contains the following topics:
