PRICE LIST SETTINGS

Fixed Look Up Date

This allows the job to look up the price list as of a certain specified date.

Sample Scenario:
For a Job (Website Building) with a Price List (Standard Rate Card AUD), and the sample activity, dates valid from, and sales price as follows:
Activity Valid From Hours Sales Price
Account Executive 01/01/2020 100
Account Executive 01/01/2024 300

The project manager then decides to fix the look up date for the price list to be based on 2021, and then inputs the date of 01/01/2021 in this field.

This will cause the price list for the activity in this job to be based on the price list as of 01/01/2021, which for the activity of account executive, will then have a rate of 100, instead of the default behaviour of the latest rate of 300.

TIME ENTRY INSTRUCTION

Time Entry Instruction

Free text box for the user to take notes on settings/instructions that they would like to input in this field.
