Allow Labor Rate Overrides when Template Labor Rate Options is Costs

We need the ability to use the Labor Rate Overrides while the Labor Rate Options are set to Cost. Currently the system will ignore the Override.


"Note: If you set the Labor Rate Option to Costs for a template (in JB T&M Template Setup), labor rates are disregarded during the billing process. You can still set up labor rate overrides here; however, the system will ignore this information when generating billings using the selected template."

    Adding in some detail to the request:

    We have a contract that is Cost Plus, with the exception of a defined billing rate for a specific employee. Because the Labor Rate Overrides feature is disabled when the Labor Rate Option is set to Cost, we are manually overriding 100+ invoices every month. We would like for this feature to be available for either Labor Rate Option.
