Standard codes

The following codes identify each type of standard. You can specify standards for the following items:

STANDARD: Any repair group

CODE: Two- or three-digit repair group number

STANDARD: Any repair task

CODE: Complete repair task code

STANDARD: Any PM or inspection service

CODE: Letter designating the PM or inspection service

STANDARD: Miles per gallon (fuel)

CODE: MPG

STANDARD: Gallons per hour (fuel)

CODE: GPH

STANDARD: Miles/engine hours per quart (oil)

CODE: MPQ

STANDARD: Total operating cost

CODE: $TO

STANDARD: Total PM cost

CODE: $TP

STANDARD: Total repair cost

CODE: $TR

Note: If you use metric numbers, there are separate standard codes for MPG, GPH, and MPQ.

For any standard, you can make one of three types of entries:

Labor hours only (not appropriate for MPG, GPH, and MPQ or their metric replacements)
A standard value
Labor hours for one execution of the task, parts cost for one execution of the task, and the number of meter units you expect to elapse between performances of the task

To calculate the standard value, the system uses these items together with its own calculation of the current average standard time labor rate. The average labor rate used is one of the following:

Single average rate (if you have elected to charge labor using the single rate)
Average of the standard hourly rates for all employees whose records are marked to indicate that their time is recorded
