Model-Rate Table Maintenance

Use Model-Rate Table Maintenance to maintain tables containing the different billing rates, minimums and steps used during rate modeling. Model rate tables contain different steps (levels) of billing rates to charge customers based on customer usage.

Notes:

For every Rate Table you maintain you must also maintain a corresponding Model-Rate Table. In addition, the Model-Rate ID must match the associated Rate ID. For example, if you have Rate Table ID of 004 then you will assign 004 as the Model-Rate ID. For more information about billing rates and rate tables, see Rate Table Maintenance.
For more information about Rate Modeling see Rate Modeling Procedure.
For more information about working with data in fields, see Data Entry Guidelines.
