work order labor

   I'm testing work orders, and I don't see a way to add labor costs to a work order. I can issue parts to get material costs, but I seem to be missing how to get labor charged.

	Create a part called Labor or whatever and place it in a Service catagory. then set your cost and price accordingly for the part in the inventory master. I have a LABOR-1 and a LABOR-60 representing minutes and hours. For some assemblies I have used LABOR-1 with quantity of 12 for 12 minutes. My cost is based on a per minute value for that labor code. When I issue the workorder, it adds the cost of the labor to the assembled product.
