In the next section you can choose if Admin, Labour, Travelling Time and mileage Costs/Charges are charged, if so are they standard or project based. If set to standard then the costs/charges in Handyperson General Details will be applied, then select the who will receive the invoice. No further configuration will be required for this project.

If you select project based you can then specify the costs and charges for Admin, Labour, Travelling Time and mileage. This is not required for standard charge or no charge.

If you have previously select "Use Initial Rates" then you can configure the charges to be applied. Project Standard charges will be used after the specified settings.

The final section you can specify which cost centres are available and what the costs and charges are. You can also use initial rates with cost centres. When completing the labour of a job card then the cost centres will be available.

Summary

If Cost Centres are not set up, or selected on a job card, then the Project Standard Rate is used. The Project Standard Rate can be set to use the HP Standard Rate, which will use the standard costs and charges for the HP module, or the entered costs and charges.
