This screen is accessible from the Job Info Bar in the Properties category.

The Job-Specific Equipment Charge Rates screen is used to record special job usage rates that override the job rates specified in Equipment. For example, if it is appropriate to charge additional costs for a particular job (because of the distance traveled or for other reasons), Spectrum will use the job rate designated here as a default in Equipment Transaction Entry or Payroll Time Card Entry. If the job is not specified on this screen, the system will offer the rate defined for job rate in Equipment.

Different types of equipment rates are available. You have the option of Full charge rates, Operating rates, or Stand-by rates. You can specify the Full charge rate or the Operating rate when charging equipment in Transaction Entry and Payroll Time Card Entry. In Transaction Entry, there is a type of entry for "ES" (Equipment Standby). These entries do not update the hours used on the equipment; rather, standby time is stored separately in the Equipment Control module. The Equipment Tracking module is designed to help track this standby time efficiently and with little data entry.
