Overview
This functionality allows you to budget and forecast labour hours broken down by regular time, overtime, and double time, rather than using a single blended rate.
Configuration
Go to System > Parameters.
Locate the JC/BUDHRTYPE parameter.
This parameter cannot be configured per contract. JC/BUDHRTYPE is a system-wide parameter.
Select which hour types you want to use (multi-select):
Regular
Overtime
Double Time
Initial Data Migration
Navigate to Administration > Contract Status > Populate Hour Specific Budgets.
Run the utility for your contracts. This moves existing "total hours" into "regular hours".
Exclude service management contracts when running this utility.
Budget Input Workbench
Hours now appear as separate rows for each hour type.
Each row can have different rates.
Enter hours to complete for each type.
Coins ERP+ calculates total cost based on individual rates.
You must ensure Regular + Overtime + Double Time hours = Total hours.
Warnings will appear if hours do not add up correctly.
Input Budget by Period
Hours are shown in separate columns (Regular, Overtime, Double Time).
Costs are shown separately for each type.
No rates are displayed (just hours and costs).
Job Summary Enquiry
Column set options allow you to see:
Total hours plus breakdown by type.
Rates for each hour type.
Cost Forecast View
Hour types appear as separate rows (like the Budget Input Workbench).
You can specify different forecast items for regular, overtime, and double time.
