Editing Billing Rates

Related Topics Link IconRelated Topics

 

Administrators can edit billing rates, changing the name of the rate, the description, the value, the status, the category, and the start date for the rate. You can only save changes to a rate if the rate is active (has a status of Active), or if one of the changes you make is to make the rate active.

Note: Actual Labor costs are not changed when billing rates are changed because that represents work that has already been completed (actual work).

To edit a billing rate:

  1. On the Administrative Home page, under Resources, click Billing Rates.
    The Billing Rates screen displays.
  2. For the rate you want to edit, click the Actions icon and click Edit.
    The Edit Billing Rate window opens.
  3. To change the name of the rate, type the new name in the Rate Name field.
  4. To change the description of the rate, type the new description in the Description field.
  5. To change the category of the rate, select the new category from the Category list.
  6. Use the Update Value and Update Date fields to change the value of a rate:
  7. To change the current value of a rate:
     
  1. Type the new rate value in the Update Value field.
  2. Verify that the date in the Update Date field is the current date.
    It is automatically set to the current date if you are entering a new update value (if there was no update value for the rate). It may have a future date if you are changing an existing update value.
  1. Type the new rate value in the Update Value field.
  2. In the Update Date field, type the date on which the rate value will change, or click the calendar icon and select the date.
    When that date arrives, the rate automatically changes to the Update Value.
  1. To change the status of the rate from Inactive to Active, choose Active from the Status list.

    Note:
    If you want to make a billing rate inactive, you must use the Checked Item Actions list. For more information, see Editing Billing Rates in Bulk.
     
  2. Click Save to save the edited billing rate without closing the details window, or Save & Close to save the edited rate and close the details window.
