Default Contractor Labor Markup (%)

Set a default markup to be applied for Work Order labor items. This markup will be visible on the item on the task.

This is ideal if you want to add an extra percentage on what your contractors charge you, and you won't need to set a default charge rate, or contractor-specific charge rates.

 
Automatically add New Items to Task

Check this box if you want work order items and costs to be automatically added to Task Materials and Labor.

If this option is disabled, work order items will be displayed on the Work Order and within Task Materials with a task quantity used value of zero (no costs allocated to the job).

Use Tax Inclusive Pricing Set the default tax status for all your work orders to 'Tax Inclusive'.
Default Acceptance Status

This setting determines what acceptance status will appear when a Work Order status is set to Approved:

  • (blank)
  • Not Sent
  • Awaiting Decision
Default Work Order Note Restrictions Set the defaults for who has access to work order notes.
