Administrators can create billing rates to be
assigned to users, external resources, tasks, and workspaces.
When you
create a billing rate, you provide a value for the rate, as well as giving
the rate a name and choosing a rate category. Note: You can give a rate any
name, but you should give consider to how you intend to use rate categories
and rate names before you begin creating billing rates. For more information
about rate categories, see Managing
Rate Categories.
Active billing rates can be assigned to resource types, users,
and external resource. For more information about assigning billing rates
to resource types, enterprise users, and external resources, see Assigning
Billing Rates.
To create a billing rate:
- On the Administration Home
page, under Resources, click Billing
Rates.
The Billing Rates screen displays.
- Click
Create Billing Rate.
The Create Billing Rate window opens.
- In the Rate
Name box, type a name for the billing rate.
- In the Description
box, type a description of the rate.
- Select a category from the Category list.
If you have not created any rate categories, the only category available
will be Default. For more information
about creating rate categories, see Creating
Rate Categories.
- Select the type for the rate
from the Type list. Options are
Internal and External.
For more information about rate types, see Billing
Rates Overview.
- Type the value for the rate in
the Current Value box.
This is the present value for the rate.
- If you know the rate value will
change and you know when, you can type a new value in the Update
Value box and a date that the change will take place in the Update Date box. The rate value will
automatically change to the new value when the update date is reached
(12.01 AM).
Note: If you add an update date without an update value, the
update date is ignored.
- The status of the new rate is
Active by default. If you want
to change the rate status, select Inactive
from the Status list.
Inactive rates cannot be used when assigning rates.
- Click Save
& Close to save the new rate and close the window, Save
& Add Another to save the new rate and create another rate,
or Cancel to discard the changes
without creating a new billing rate.
