Item Code - This field will automatically populate with a /and the Miscellaneous Item code when the user clicks on the "Click here to set warranty or labor" link on the Miscellaneous Item Maintenance form.

Warranty/Labor - Select whether this is for a Warranty or Labor reference relative to the Miscellaneous Item code.  In this example, the miscellaneous code is for Labor, so the Warranty Code field is hidden and Hour Conversion Factor appears.

Hour Conversion Factor - If the standard unit of measure is not an hour, you enter a conversion factor here.   Enter the multiplier used to convert from an HOUR to your standard unit of measure.   For example, if the standard unit of measure is a quarter of an hour (QTRH - 15 minutes), you would enter a conversion of .25, since you multiply the hours by .25 to arrive at the number of quarter hours.  If the standard unit of measure is 1 hour then this setting will need to stay as the default 1.0000.

For example, if your unit of measure is QTRH and you entered a quantity of 3 on the service order line, the system would divide that by .25 to arrive at the number of hours - .75 hours.   The service technician history would then show .75 hours for that line.
