These two settings allow you to charge separate rates for each department or type of work. For example, if you have a single record in your Item register for labour, you can use one of these settings to charge different labour rates depending on the department carrying out the work.

These two settings are used to calculate prices for Service Items on Time Sheets and Project Budgets. Prices entered in either setting will take priority over those entered to the Item or Person registers and will be subject to any percentage discount entered in the Customer Discount setting. Any absolute prices in the Customer Discount setting will override what has been entered here. In the unlikely event that you have records in both of these settings, Job Group/Item Prices will take priority over Item/Job Group Prices.

In operation, these two settings are very similar. In essence, they provide different methods of organising the same information. The difference between them is as follows:

Item/Job Group Prices: You should enter a separate record to this setting for each Item that you will be using on Time Sheets or Project Budgets that does not have a fixed price. In each record, you should list the rates charged for the Item by each Job Group.
Job Group/Item Prices: You should enter a separate record to this setting for each Job Group, in which you should list the rates charged by that Job Group for each Item.
