Adding labor and crafts to job plans

You can add labor and craft information to job plans. You add labor or a craft either at the job plan level or at various task levels. You can maintain multiple skill levels for a craft, multiple vendors and contracts for a skill level, and a pay rate for each combination.

Before you begin

You cannot add both a labor and a craft to a single-line item.
