The rates that you see in the cockpit are picked up from the Budget & Forecast module. In the Budget & Forecast module, you can enter either the rate or total labor cost, depending on the settings chosen.

If you work with total labor cost, the labor cost percentage rate in the cockpit is found by dividing the forecasted/budgeted cost by the forecasted/budgeted hours.

If you work with rates in Budget & Forecast, the same will appear in the cockpit. The current rate, is by default, the same as forecasted but can be amended directly in the cockpit if necessary. Budgeted and forecasted rates in the cockpit can only be changed if you are working with rates in Budget & Forecast, otherwise, these are closed for editing.
