Labor Codes

Use the Labor Code List to create and manage reusable labor templates for service invoices. Labor codes help service writers build labor operations faster and keep pricing, hours, and fees consistent across the shop.

Where to find it

Go to Service → Labor Code List.

What is a Labor Code?

A Labor Code is a saved template for a common job (example: oil change, brake service, diagnostic). When you select a labor code while adding labor on a service invoice, the system can prefill standard details so you don’t have to re-enter them every time.
