Charge Management
Updated over 6 months ago

Selecting a Service Contract from the left column of the Charge List, will display all associated details of this charge or category to the right which the administrator can view and modify.

Managing the current costs and rates is performed through the Charges interface. After selecting the service contract, the details of all activities and items will be displayed in the central column as displayed above. Where the text is white, these entries can be edited by the Administrator, and new rates can be added with a specific start date.

  • Enable

If this checkbox is "on", the activity or item is "enabled" or able to be selected. If entries are to be discontinued or no longer apply to a service contract, simply uncheck the box. This allows the audit record to be maintained as well as simplifying the user interface.

  • Charge Code

Determines the required charge code which is to apply to the activity or item.

  • Duration

  • Time Frame

  • Date of Commencement
