pricebook.taskCost

What a flat rate task costs the shop: its parts at cost plus estimated labor minutes at the shop's default hourly cost, and the margin at the price and at the member price (owner or office, needs see_costs). Parts or a labor rate with no cost set are listed in missing.

When to use it

A flat rate task is a price book item with kind task: one price for the whole job, with an optional task_code, member_price_minor for customers on an active maintenance plan, est_minutes, warranty_note and parts (materials from the price book with a quantity, used for costing only; they do not take stock). Save tasks with pricebook.saveItem, or bring a book in with imports.historyPreview and imports.historyRun using kind flat_rate (presets jobber and housecall_pro; their column names are our best guess, so check the suggested mapping).
