Fee Bands
|
Use these fields to define the range of the contractor's fee that is associated with the chargeable cost entered for the row. The number of columns that display is based on the entry in the
Fee Bands field. For example, if you entered
4 in the Fee Bands field, four fee bands display in the Fee Bands grid.
Vision automatically adds one additional column after the last fee band where you can define the maximum for the last fee band.
The minimum value for each fee band is used as the basis for the range of the fee band, and the maximum value is automatically dictated by the next fee band's minimum. For example, if
Fee Band 1 from equals 10 and Fee Band 2 from equals 20, you can assume that the range for Fee Band 1 is 10 to 20. As you continue to build the fee bands for your service profile, you finish by entering a cap for the last fee band in the
to column. This is the absolute maximum for the fee band.
There may be situations where the amount entered for the chargeable cost in the fee estimate is not in complete alignment with the associated fee bands. For example, if you enter 35,000 for the chargeable cost but Fee Band 1's chargeable cost is 20,000 and Fee Band 2's chargeable costs is 30,000,
Vision interpolates the data to define the calculated fee.
The fee bands work in conjunction with the
Rate field on the Fee Estimate tab of the Opportunity Info Center and in Project Fee Estimates in Accounting to calculate the fee for each functional group. The
Rate field includes options that help specify an amount within the range. For example, if a fee band's range is
2,000 to 3,000, and you select
Average as the
Rate, the fee estimate will apply
2,500 from the fee band. However, if you select
Minimum as the
Rate, the fee estimate will apply
2,000 from the fee band.
