Sales > Sales Functions > Item Sales > Adding Labor to a Sale

The easiest way to add labor to a sale, is to create a labor inventory item (stock type nonstock) and add it to a sale as you would any other inventory item.

RetailEdge also allows you to add labor to a sale as a percentage of the sale item(s). To add labor to a sale by this method:

1.	Press the Ctrl-Alt-L keys together on the Sales Screen Items tab.

2.	Type in a Labor Rate percentage.

3.	Type in or find the Labor Item you wish to add to the screen

4.	Select How to Apply Labor Charge. You will have the option to add labor to:

•Current Row (Add Labor to Item). Adds an invisible labor line to the selected sale item. The receipt will hide the labor item. The item price shown on receipts will be a combination of labor and item prices.

•Existing Rows (Add Labor to each item). Adds an invisible labor line to each existing sale item. The receipt will hide the labor items. The item prices shown on receipts will be a combination of labor and item prices.

•Existing Rows (Add Single Labor Item - Bottom). Adds a visible labor item on the last sale line.

•Reset Labor Item for all Rows. Removes all labor items for the chosen labor SKU from the sale.

•Convert Multi-Labor Lines to Single Labor Line. Will convert all labor items to a single visible labor item on the last sale line.
