#### Who uses this feature

- Administrators and managers
- Applies to all business types

## Things to know

- The estimated number of technician hours it takes to complete a service is also known as *sold hours*. For example, if a toilet installation takes an hour and a half, the sold hours for that service item would be *1.5*.
- [Dynamic Pricing](/v1/docs/dynamic-pricing-overview) uses sold or billable hours from your pricebook services in its calculations.
- The [Technician Scorecards](/construction/docs/technician-scorecards) display *Billable Efficiency* under *Service, Maintenance, and Install*. This shows you whether the technician is completing the work faster or slower than the expected pace, based on sold hours entered in your pricebook.
- To add sold hours to material items, your account must be configured for chargeable materials. Contact your success or implementation manager for details.
- To update sold hours for multiple pricebook items, you can [edit items in bulk](/construction/docs/bulk-edit-pricebook-items) or [edit items with the Pricebook Excel template](/construction/docs/add-and-edit-items-with-the-pricebook-excel-template)
