Name Name of the rate rule. This must be unique within the bill agreement. Validity From Date Date from which the rate rule is valid. Click the calendar button and use the calendar control to select a valid date. Note that the date must be within the validity period of the bill agreement, as defined in the agreement header. The date cannot fall within the validity period of another rate rule for the same pay code condition that is assigned to the same hierarchy level and hierarchy value. Validity To Date Date after which the rate rule expires. Click the calendar button and use the calendar control to select a valid date. Alternatively, leave this field blank if the rate rule is to remain valid indefinitely. Note that the date must be within the validity period of the bill agreement, as defined in the agreement header. The date cannot fall within the validity period of another rate rule for the same code condition that is assigned to the same hierarchy level and hierarchy value. Hierarchy Level Agreement hierarchy level to which the rate rule belongs. This defaults to Country but you can select another hierarchy level as required. Hierarchy Value Agreement hierarchy value to which the rate rule belongs. For example, if the rate rule is assigned to the Country level of the agreement hierarchy, the hierarchy value defines the country to which the rule applies. Click the select button to display a dialog box that allows you to search for the relevant hierarchy value. Hierarchy Group Hierarchy group to which the bill rate rule belongs. If bill rate rules are assigned to a hierarchy group, when bill interpretation occurs the system will first attempt to apply a bill rate rule my matching on a combination of hierarchy level, hierarchy value and hierarchy group. If no such bill rate rule exists, the system will attempt to find an applicable bill rate rule by matching on a combination of hierarchy level and hierarchy value only. It is not mandatory to assign a bill rate rule to a hierarchy group and you can only assign a bill rate rule to a hierarchy group if hierarchy group functionality is enabled in Maintenance > Hierarchy > Country > Hierarchy Group. Hierarchy group functionality can be labelled to suit the terminology required by your business and the country to which it applies. This can be configured in Maintenance > Hierarchy > Country > Hierarchy Group. Pay Code Conditions Determines the pay code or pay codes to which the bill rate rule applies. The options are as follows: All Conditions – the rule applies to any pay code against which time/items are allocated by the pay interpretation process Pay Code Type Only – the rule applies to a specific type of pay code against which time/items are allocated by the pay interpretation process Pay Code Only – the rule applies to a specific pay code against which time/items are allocated by the pay interpretation process. Pay Code/Pay Code Type If the Pay Code Type Only pay code condition is selected, this field is labelled Pay Code Type and requires you to select the pay code type to which the rule will apply. If the Pay Code Only pay code condition is selected, this field is labelled Pay Code and requires the pay code, to which the rule is to apply, to be selected.
This field is disabled if the All Conditions pay code condition is selected. Rounding Type Determines if the result of the rate calculation is to be rounded or truncated. Select Round if the |
