In this article we will talk about how to use a customer labor rate in a Maintenance project. For example you may have a typical maintenance rate of $65/ HR, but for something specialized you want to charge a higher rate. This article will walk you through how to do that.
One common reason to reach for a custom labor rate is when you need to apply your current-year rate to a new work area on a project that was already sold under last year's budget. A sold project's labor rate and material prices are both locked to its original snapshot (by design); custom labor rate is the right tool for pulling in the new labor number on just that work area, and you can override material prices per-line directly on the work area. See Why Don't My Labor Rates or Material Prices Update on a Sold Project... for the underlying behavior.
