Rates/Ceilings

Use this screen to add, edit, or delete a rate/ceiling. Because the table is sorted by Effective Date, you can keep multiple rates and ceilings in the table. If you selected the Second Tier Ceiling checkbox on the Basic Information tab, the system will use the rate entered here to determine whether the employee went over the second tier ceiling amount.

Table Window

This table displays the available default unit rates and/or the ceiling amounts for the expense type. When you enter an expense, the system retrieves the Default Unit Rate and not-to-exceed ceiling amount from this table

Add Rate/Ceiling

Use the Add Rate/Ceiling function to add a unit rate or a ceiling to the expense type.

Effective Date

Enter the date on which the rates will become effective.

Currency

If your system is configured to use multiple currencies and you are adding a unit rate, use the Currency drop-down to select the currency in which the unit rate is expressed. If you need them, you can set up unit rates for more than one currency for the same effective date.

For rates that are not unit rates, your system's base currency is always used.
