## How to Configure Rate Retrieval from the Item Master in Job Orders?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to configure a **Default Rate** for Job Order entries in Logic ERP. This feature automatically picks the selected rate from the Item Master during Job Order entry, reducing manual rate selection.
***
### Objective of This Feature
* Automatically populate the Default Rate
* Retrieve rates directly from the Item Master
* Reduce manual rate selection
* Speed up Job Order entry
* Improve rate accuracy and consistency
***
### Access to the Job Order Configuration
* Open the **Configuration** window.
* Navigate to the **Other Settings** section.
* Locate the option labeled as:
> **"Default Rate"**
* Open the Dropdown list.
* Select the required Rate Type.
The selected rate will be automatically picked from the **Item Master** during Job Order entry.
* Save the configuration changes.
***
### Create a New Job Order
* Initiate a **New Job Order** entry.
* Navigate to the **Item Details** section.
* Transact the required item.
**Result**
The system automatically populates the rate based on the Rate Type selected in the configuration.
For example, if **MRP** is selected as the Default Rate, the system automatically picks the MRP defined for the item.
***
### Verify the Rate in Item Master
* Open the **Item Master**.
* Search for and select the same item.
* Navigate to the **Pack Details** section.
* Open the **Item Rates** section.
Here, you can review all the rates defined for the selected item.
**Example**
If the MRP defined in the Item Master is **₹1,100** and MRP is configured as the Default Rate, the system automatically picks **₹1,100** during Job Order entry.
***
### Other Rate Types
* You can select any available Rate Type from the **Default Rate** dropdown.
The system will automatically retrieve the corresponding rate defined in the Item Master during Job Order entry.
***
### Key Benefits
* Faster Job Order entry
* Eliminates manual rate selection
* Ensures rates are picked directly from the Item Master
* Reduces data entry errors
* Maintains consistent pricing across transactions
***
### Best Practice Tips
* Ensure the required Rate Type is properly defined in the Item Master.
* Select the Rate Type that best matches your Job Order process.
* Verify Item Master rates before using them as default rates.
***
### Final Outcome
After configuring the **Default Rate**, Logic ERP automatically picks the selected rate from the Item Master whenever an item is transacted in a Job Order. This makes the entry process **faster, more accurate, and more efficient**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://kb.logicerp.com/logic-erp-learning-hub-tutorials-and-best-practices/production/production-vouchers/job-order/job-order-configuration/default-rate.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
