Structure

The labor value is defined by an alphanumeric key. This key is model and OEM-specific and is provided by the OEM in the form of subsystems. These systems support the search for labor values and contain a series of additional graphical information that supports the work carried out on the vehicle. The systems are connected to DBM VSS by an interface.
The following data is stored in the master record of a labor value:

  • Pricing reference material
    When a DBM VSS order is created, the system transfers this material to the order.
  • Labor value main type
    The OEM usually delivers the labor value main types. For manual labor values, you can define labor value main types yourself.
  • Labor value group
    You can use the labor value group to subdivide the labor values according to categories that you choose, for example, electrics and electronics, mechanics, and body work.
  • Matchcode
    The matchcode simplifies the determination of labor values in the DBM VSS order.
  • Target time for labor value
    The value in the system is proposed as a quantity for the labor value and a target time in the DBM VSS order.

You can organize labor values in a hierarchy. You define the hierarchy level in Customizing for Dealer Business Management (DBM Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) under Service > Labor Value > Define Hierarchy Level and maintain the labor value hierarchy nodes in transaction /DBMDBE/LBROPGRP.
Note:
