MANUALS > Settings > Settings Module > Settings, Update Menu > Vendor > Vendor Master Buttons > Contract Button, via Vendor Master > Contract Buttons > Contractor Rates Button

The Contractor Rates button allows a customer to designate a price limit for material and/or labor captured on both routine and Non Routine Task Cards. For all routine and non-routine material or labor costs that fall under the cap limit, there will not be any additional charges. But if these limits are exceeded, then the specified overage fees will be charged to the customer. This functionality works the same way as the flat rate Cap Rules, via Customer Contract Detail in the Production Module.

From the Contract window, select the Contractor Rates button. The Flat Rate window is displayed.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Control By drop down

These rates can either be applied to specific Task Card or to all Task Cards for a certain T/C Category. As such, the options are Task Card or Task Card Category:

Task Card - The Task Card / Job Card that details the scheduled maintenance work.

Task Card Category - The Task Card's Category, as defined in Task Card Category transaction code via the Engineering Transaction Codes. Task Card Authorization Steps are defined in System Transaction Codes by Task Card Category.

Sub-Category

This option determines whether this Cap Limit will affect Non-Routine labor or materials. As such, the options are Labor Flat or Material Flat:

Labor Flat - If Labor Flat is selected, then manual Labor hours will be tracked. The Sell Amount price will be charged to the MRO's customer if the amount of Labor Hours is under the amount of Max Hours. If the amount Max Hours is surpassed, then HRS Rate will be applied. See the Apply Full Amount checkbox for more information.

Material Flat - If Material Flat is selected, then the sell prices of Material components issued to Non-Routine Task Cards will be tracked. The Sell Amount price will be charged to the MRO's customer if the sell price is under the Material's Unit Sell. If the Max Material Cost is surpassed by the material component's Unit Sell, then the difference in sell price will be charged.

Sell Amount

The minimum amount that customers will be charged for the Labor or Material costs that was necessary for the routine and Non-Routine work to be completed by the MRO.

Labor Flat - The minimum amount that customers will be charged for the Labor or Material costs that was necessary for the Non-Routine work to be completed by the MRO.

Material Flat - If Material Flat is selected, the Sell Amount will be the flat rate fee applied for parts. This flat rate will override the sell prices of each part issued to the W/O. However, if the Cap Total Cost amount is surpassed by the price(s) of materials issued to the W/O, then additional fees may be applied to the Invoice for those overages.

Max Material Cost

This field signifies the cap limit for Material components (for Scheduled and N/R Task Cards) and is only available when Material Flat is selected. If the cost of material components is below this Cap, then the materials will not be charged in the invoice. If the cost of Material Components is above this Cap, then the material component(s) will be charged in the invoice.

Max Hours

This field signifies the cap limit hours for manual labor and is only available when Labor Flat is selected. If the amount of labor hours required for the work is below these Max Hours, then the Sell Amount will be the hourly rate applied. If the Max Hours are surpassed, then the HRS Rate will be the hourly rate applied.

HRS Rate

The Labor rate for each labor hour on a Non-Routine Task Card occurring after the Max Hours have been used up. In other words, the initial Max Hours are charged at the rate indicated by the Sell Amount; each hour after those Max Hours will be charged at the HRS Rate until the labor is completed. This field is only available when the Sub Category drop down is set to Labor Flat.

Billing Category

P/N Category classification for vendor contracts that do not necessarily exist in the system P/N Master but will appear on the Customer Work Order Invoice for all parts issued for that part category (i.e. the P/N Category in the system may be expendable, however the Billing P/N Category classification may appear as supplies, as defined in the Vendor Contract).

P/N Category

The specific P/N Category that is affected by this cap limit. This field is only available when Material Flat is selected.

Flat Rate Per P/N checkbox

When selected, individual parts that exceed the cap limit will trigger the overage. (For example, if two parts have a Sell Amount of 1000 each and the Max Material Cost is 1200, an overage will not be triggered because neither of the individual parts surpass the cap limit.) When not selected, the flat rate cap limit will consider the total of all parts issued to the routine or N/R T/C. (Therefore, if two parts have a Sell Amount of 1000 each and the Max Cost is 1200, the total cost for both parts will be added and will trigger an overage. If this sum does not surpass the cap limit, then a cap limit overage will not be triggered.) This checkbox is only available for Material Flat cap limits.

Flat rate After Markup checkbox

When selected, a separate charge will be added in the Actuals for the Markup price. When not selected, the markup price will be included within the existing Actuals for the cap limits/cap limit overage. This checkbox is only available for Material Flat cap limits.

Fixed Price Routine MH (Man Hours)

This is the number of Man Hours agreed upon between the MRO and TRAX customer for the Task Cards specified on the Vendor Contract.

Fixed Price Non-Routine MH

This is the number of Man Hours agreed upon between the MRO and TRAX customer for the Task Cards specified on the Vendor Contract.

Over & Above Price Routine MH (Man Hours)

This is the additional Man Hours for any Task Cards that are added to the Work Order (after the Vendor Contract has been agreed upon by the MRO and Trax customer) by Engineering.

Over & Above Price Non-Routine MH

This is the additional Man Hours for any N/R T/Cs that are added to the Work Order (after the Vendor Contract has been agreed upon by the MRO and Trax customer) by Engineering.

Rate

This is the budgeted rate for the Contract Type (i.e H-Check).
