Rate Table Maintenance

Use Rate table Maintenance to maintain information about billing rates used to calculate customer charges. Rate Tables contain the usage levels that are often referred to as "steps" and rates for each usage level or step (generally, above the Transaction Code's Minimum Usage). You can have just one Rate Table or you can have several Rate Tables if you have multiple rate structures.

Notes:

Minimum usage and minimum charge amounts are maintained during Transaction Code Maintenance.
If you only charge one rate (one usage level), enter the Usage Level as 0 and enter the rate in the first Rate field. If you charge different rates depending on the level of usage, enter the break level for each rate in the Usage Level fields and the rate for up to that break level in the Rate field.
You assign rate tables to the appropriate transaction codes during Transaction Code Maintenance.
