In this release, we have added a new auto-rating method ‘Actual Cost Plus’
The Actual Cost Plus method is available on the following screens:
- Rates -> Company Tariff Rates
- Rates -> Customer Rates
The functionality of this method is to take all existing costs on a charge code against a job, and then apply a percentage uplift to calculate the bill amount.
E.g.
I have a customer rate with Method = Actual Cost Plus, and Calc = 10 for PPS
And my job has a charge line for PPS with an Actual Cost of $100.00
An unposted creditor invoice against the job with a charge for PPS with an Actual Cost of $100.00
And a posted creditor invoice against the job with a charge for PPS with an Actual Cost of $100.00
When I auto-rate the job, the system sums all of the Actual Cost against the PPS charge from the charges table, creditor invoice entry and creditor invoice enquiry screens for a total of $300.00 and the multiples the 10% uplift from the customer rates screen:
$300.00 + ($300.00 * 0.1) = $330.00
Total Charged for Pier Pass $330.00
