Estimated or Flat Hours

Enter either the estimated number of hours needed to complete the step, or enter the flat or fixed hours it always takes to complete the step.  The setting in control record RASTP1 determines this field's label and whether you enter estimated or flat hours.  If the setting is for flat hours, when this step is selected for labor on a work order, the system automatically applies the number of hours entered in this field, and the user cannot change it.
