Setting up Work Types
Work Types can be used during the entry of Timesheets to facilitate an additional option for defining costs and prices.Work Types are used to differentiate on sales prices for the same Resource or Resource Group on the same Project based on Work Types.
A Work Type can also be added to a Resource or Resource Group.
Navigate to Resource > Resource Costs and select a Work Type from Work Type Code when you add a new Resource Cost.
Create Work Types through the Role Center > Actions > +Setup > Project Setup > Work Types and have the following fields:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Code |
Specifies a code to identify the Work Type. |
| Description | Specifies a description of this Work Type. |
| Unit of Measure Code | Specifies how each unit of the Item or Resource is measured, such as in pieces or hours. By default, the value in the Base Unit of Measure field on the Item or Resource Card is inserted. Example: Hour, Day, Week, etc. |
| Flex Factor | Enter a factor for this Work Type. |
| Gen. Prod. Posting Group | Select the Posting Group from the standard Business Central Product Posting Group list. |
Use Work Types to help with the following:
- Resource Costs
- Resource Prices
- Filter when looking at Resources
- Invoice text which is specific to Work Type.
- Examples of Work Types would include OT, OT2, TRAVEL. and require you to set up a unit of measure for that Work Type (i.e. OT = 1.50, OT2 = 2.0, TRAVEL = DAY, etc.)
