BILLING RATES

Use this subtask to assign company-wide billing rates for each PLC set up on the main screen. Billing rates are maintained by start/end dates, so that changes to the billing rate for a given PLC can be effected without changing the category code.

Use this subtask to initialize billing rates for company-wide PLCs.

Project Labor Categories

Labor Cat

This non-editable field displays the PLC in focus on the main screen. The unlabeled, non-editable field to the right displays the description of the PLC.

Table Window

Rate

This column displays the user-supplied billing rate for the PLC displayed. The rate is applicable for the other columns on this row. Note that the rate is applicable only to PLCs that have not been assigned to projects (company-wide PLCs).

Discount Percentage

If you would like to use a billing discount for this labor category, enter a discount percentage to apply against the billing rate. The discount percentage can be greater than 100% but cannot be negative.

Exercise care if you set up company-wide discounts in this screen. If you reference this table in the Define Rate Sequence screen (Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup), the discount percentage applies against the PLC.

Starting Date

This column displays the starting date in which the billing rate is available. If this field is left blank, the billing rate will not have a start date and will be available for the earliest open fiscal year through the fiscal year specified in the Ending Date column.

Ending Date

This column displays the ending date for the billing rate specified. If this field is left blank, the Costpoint default date of 01/01/3000 will display.
