Applying Rates Retroactively

Labor rates in an estimate of record cannot be changed. However, labor rates can be changed in a preliminary supplement after an estimate has been locked. Labor rate changes in the preliminary supplement are applied to all lines in the current estimate. The revised amount is displayed in the preliminary supplement.

When performing this function, you may consider adding a note to the workfile that explains the reason for the labor rate change.
