Unit Cost Field

 

The unit cost for the fluid will be extracted from the Parts Inventory module as fluids are added to the work order. If you do not have access to the Parts Inventory module, you can manually enter a unit cost.

When a fluid is selected as a resource in a work order, this data is automatically carried over to the unit cost field for the resource record (from here it can be modified).

Note: If the data in this field resembles (*"***.#*"), then you do not have rights within Security to view the data in this field. Please see your system administrator for details.
