What are the flat rate paths for editing mentioned in the instructions?
The EGSS manual’s instructions outlines penciling in flat rate paths for specific mechanical labor operations, such as when looking up flat rate labor times in Alldata, Mitchell, etc. When one does so, he first has to look in the main path (or heading) for that operation, then follow through to the specific labor time operation (subheading) for the labor time. For example, if you look up in Alldata the labor time for a “cylinder head gasket” job you would first look in “Engine,” then find “Cylinder Head Gasket.” Each step is a path to the labor time you want. These paths (or headings & subheadings) are easy to find for experience service writers, mechanics, and estimators. However, for novice use and training, the editable paths in the estimate outlines need to be filled in according to the paths or headings that relate to your specific flat rate labor provider. This will allow any novice to find the labor time for an estimate.
