The "Bill Rate" field is present in the data set, but for some reason it's hidden when viewing this data from the "SM Standard Tasks" : "Misc" tab.
Why do we need it?
We want to create tasks with specific costs, without having to make a "Standard Item" with that exact same description. If you give us the "Bill Rate" field under this "MISC" Tab, then we can directly add MISC lines with a specific COST and PRICE, directly on this task. Thus, whenever the task is placed on a WO, these items would show up with the specified COST and PRICE on the WO.
Where would we use it?
Say we have a "Standard Task" of "Install Residential Toilet", then we would could put MISC items in for each LEVEL (level 1 @ price X, Level 2 at price XX, Level 3 at price XXX), and the tech would delete the levels that the client is not using.
It would be even better if we could create tasks within tasks (or GROUP / Categorize tasks), Then the tech could choose "Install Toilet" and then get to pick which task within that category "which level of toilet install".
Adding the "BILL RATE" into the MISC tab would allow us to use the MISC tab for prices, WITHOUT having to duplicate everything into STANDARD TASKS just to get a BILL RATE.
Thanks!

Revisiting this again. It looks like the stored procedure [vspSMWorkCompletedUpdater] completely ignores the "BillRate" column of this table. That is a real pity.
It would be VERY nice if we could add completely custom 'Misc Items' with COST and PRICE which would both flow into the WO when the task is added to the WO, without having to duplicate all the data into "Standard Items", just to get pricing to show up on a WO.
