Tekion Labor Rate — Create/Complete a Labor Pricing Entry

When to use

Joe/a store asks for a new labor rate (e.g. "Caliber Collision Rate @225/hour, parts
pricing wholesale") to be added at a specific Tekion store. Labor rates are
per-dealership — always confirm/clarify WHICH store first if not stated.

Step 0 — ALWAYS check the existing list first (dedup / resume-draft check)

Navigate https://app.tekioncloud.com/ro/labor-pricing on the target dealer (switch
dealer first if needed — see tekion-sitemap dealer-switch JS pattern). Read the full
table via document.body.innerText (paginate the slice if it's long — the list can run
~1500+ chars, e.g. BT had 23 rows).

Look for a near-match or partial/abandoned entry before creating new. Verified case
(BT, 2026-08-18): a row named "Caliber C.C" already existed — Rate Type Fixed
$225, description "Caliber C.CV", Part Price Code "-" (unset). This was clearly a
prior incomplete attempt at the exact same ask ("Caliber Collision Rate @225/hr,
wholesale parts"), not a different/intentional row. Completing/fixing that existing row
is the right move — do NOT create a duplicate new row next to a clear draft. Only
create fresh via "Add Labor Pricing" if no plausible existing draft/match exists.

To open an existing row for editing: find the name cell (el.children.length===0 && textContent.trim()===name), scrollIntoView, get its bounding rect, /mouse click
near its center (text links here don't respond to plain /click by selector reliably —
/mouse at the rendered coords works). Lands on
/ro/labor-pricing/edit/<mongoId>.

Form fields (Labor Rate Pricing edit page)

Field	Control	Notes
Name	textbox (ref e80 typically)	required
Description	textbox (ref e81 typically)	required — can mirror Name
Customer Time / Manufacturer Time	radio pair + multiplier +/- steppers	leave default (Customer Time selected, multiplier 1) unless told otherwise
Rate Type	combobox — click to open, options: Hourly Labor Rate / Dynamic Pricing / Custom / Fixed	click combobox ref, then find the option li/div/span by exact text match, get its rect, /mouse click center. Plain /click on the option can no-op — prefer /mouse.
Rate value	spinbutton/textbox that appears once Rate Type is set	for Hourly this is the $/hour value
Part Price Code	combobox, searchable, ~20 store-specific options	see gotcha below

Part Price Code selection mechanic — TYPE + Enter, NOT /mouse click on the list item

Verified BT 2026-08-18: unlike the Rate Type combobox (where /mouse-clicking the
option's rendered rect works), the Part Price Code combobox's dropdown-list items did
NOT respond to /mouse clicks — the click registered ({"success":true}) but the
dropdown just closed and the field stayed on placeholder "Select" (confirmed via
screenshot+vision, twice). This combobox is a searchable/filterable Ant Select.
The reliable method: /click the combobox to open it, then POST /type {ref, text: "<search term>"} (e.g. "Trade") — the list filters down to "N result(s) available for
search term X", then POST /press {key:"Enter"} selects the top/only filtered result.
Verify via document.body.innerText showing "option , selected." No need to
locate/click the option element at all once you're typing+Enter.

GOTCHA: Part Price Code has NO generic "Wholesale" entry

Tekion's Part Price Code list is a store-specific catalog of numbered price codes —
there is no plain "Wholesale" choice. Verified BT (2026-08-18) 20 options included:
4 | Trade (closest to generic wholesale), plus Cost+X% / List-X% tiers, PLUS
store-custom Caliber-branded codes already present: 16 | Caliber Bakersfield list -32% and 18 | Caliber Central Valley. This means AMG already has an
established per-location Caliber Collision wholesale-discount convention — when asked
to set "wholesale" pricing for a Caliber-named rate, do NOT assume "Trade" is
correct. Check the store's existing Part Price Code list first for a Caliber-branded
code, and if the discount % isn't obvious/confirmed, STOP and ask the user which code
(or exact %) to use — this directly affects real parts $ pricing, don't guess (see
Joe's NEVER-GUESS rule). Verified resolution 2026-08-18 (BT "Caliber Collision Rate"):
asked user directly in-chat (numbered options: Bakersfield code / Central Valley code /
generic Trade / custom %) — user chose generic "4 | Trade". So Trade IS an
acceptable default when the user confirms it, just don't silently assume it.

No clarify tool in Slack context — when asking this kind of blocking question from
a Slack conversation, clarify() errors out ("not available in this execution
context"). Fall back to a plain chat message with numbered choices instead of the
clarify tool; this works fine and the user can just reply with their pick.

Save

Bottom-right "Save" button. Verify by re-navigating to the list (/ro/labor-pricing)
via a fresh nav (not just re-reading current DOM) and confirming the row now shows
correct Name / Rate Type / Rate / Part Price Code / Active status.
