VMRS Average Time by Class Code
This utility was created as a method to import the average labor hours posted for a job code, by vehicle class. The report works by grabbing the vehicle class, VMRS code, and average of posted hours for each work order posted to give an accurate reading on how much time a job should take for each vehicle type. Running this utility will update the times according to the averages it calculates, and only reads vehicles that are currently existing in RTA. It is advised that backups be made before running the utility, and that a large range of time be used to more accurately grab the average times.
