Model-Rate Table Maintenance

Use Model-Rate Table Maintenance to maintain tables containing the proposed billing rates, minimums and steps used during rate modeling. Model rate tables are like rate tables but they are used only for rate-modeling. They contain different steps (levels) of billing rates to charge customers based on customer usage. For every Rate Table you maintain you need to set up a corresponding Model-Rate Table with a Model-Rate ID that matches the associated Rate ID. For example, if you have Rate Table ID of 004 then you will create a Model-Rate ID of 004. For more information about billing rates and rate tables, see Rate Table Maintenance.

Note: For more information about Rate Modeling see Rate Modeling Process.
