The Cost Markup grid on the Work Order Resource records allows users to apply additional costs to the use of a resource. Cost Markups only apply to the Normal Cost calculations in the Norm column.
Cost markups allow administrators to add overhead costs to work order tasks. For example, an employee makes $10 an hour, but on top of that there are taxes that the agency has to pay, and insurance. So an administrator creates a markup record with a 2% tax rate and $3 dollars per a hour for health insurance. This cost markup is applied to the employee's record. The employee works 5 hours on a task.
$10 base pay x 5 hours = $50
$10 x .02% tax x 5 hours = $1
$3 insurance x 5 hours = $15
$50 base pay + $1 taxes + $15 insurance cost = $66 actual cost
So while the employee is paid 50 dollars for their work, they actually cost 66 dollars.
This grid contains a list of cost markups that are applied in a group. This list can be manually populated with records or it can be loaded with items from another cost markup list from this module.
