One Day Rate Change
The One Day Rate Change utility allows sites to change an account rate for a single day; for example, to increase the carrier credit on a major holiday.
To enter a one-day rate change:
Select One Day Rate Change from the Utilities | Setup menu in Graphical Utilities.
In the top portion of the screen, highlight a rule rate link records whose rate you want to change. You can Ctrl-click to select individual rates, or Shift-click to select a range of records.
Click the Add button and complete the following fields.
| Field | Type | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
DATE OF RATE CHG | date | Enter the date of the one-day rate change. |
DRAW RATE CODE | setup | Select the rate code for the draw charge. This will determine the rate charged carriers who are rated by the selected rule rate link for the date above. |
DRAW CHRG CODE | setup | Select the charge code corresponding to the draw rate code. This should be set up as a charge (not a credit). |
CREDIT RATE CODE | setup | Select the rate code for the draw credit (if applicable). This will determine the rate credited to carriers who are rated by the selected rule rate link for the date above. |
CREDIT CHRG CODE | setup | Select the charge code corresponding to the credit rate code. This should be set up as a credit. |
RETURN RATE CODE | setup | Select the rate code that will apply to returns. |
RETURN CHRG CODE | setup | Select the charge code corresponding to the return rate code. This should be defined as a charge (not a credit). |
Click OK. The one-day rate change will be saved but not committed, and display in the One Day Change Links area in the lower right of the screen.
Define rate codes for additional rule rate links and dates.
Click the Commit button to commit the one day changes. Changes do not take effect until they are committed. Be sure that each change is correct before performing this step. Individual changes can be modified or deleted by using the Modify and Delete buttons.
Click OK to complete the operation. After a change is committed:
The original rule rate link is end-dated to the day before the one-day rate change.
A copy of the original rule rate link is created with a start date of the day after the one-day rate change.
