Rate Type |
Use this drop-down list to select the rate type for this project's PLC. Valid options are:
The A rate type divides actual amount paid by actual hours (actual amount/actual hours) to obtain the rate during the Load Labor Rates process. The A selection allows the application of multipliers to the rate for revenue and billing calculations. The B rate type uses the T&M project rate that does not include multipliers. The C rate calculates the A rate, then compares it with the ceiling and uses the lesser of the two rates. The C selection allows the application of multipliers to the rate for revenue and billing calculations. The S rate is equal to the Salary or Hourly rate per employee on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen. This rate reflects the standard rate without any auto adjusting on the timesheet. Multipliers are applied against the S rate type. After Costpoint is operational, the Rate Type field is updated during the Load Labor Rates process. |
