PURPOSE
This document shows the procedures for administration of rate structures in CS Lucas system.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Rate structure administration is used to lock and approve rate structures maintained in the system. This prevents users from making changes to the rate structures.
PROCEDURE
1. From the main menu, select Prices > Rate Structure.
2. Rate Structure screen displays.
3. Click on Admin. The Rate Structure Administration screen displays.
4. To lock rate structure, tick on the Lock checkbox. The system displays a date which determines the date to which you wish to lock the rate structure. In this example, we will lock the date to 22-Apr-2020. Click on the Lock hyperlink.
5. Once locked, the Approve hyperlink appears. Click on Approve hyperlink to approve the locked to date.
6. The Approved To date will be updated to the same as locked to date.
7. To unlock rate structure previously locked, tick on the checkbox for Unlock. The system displays a date that can be used to determine the date to unlock to. You may change this as necessary.
8. In this example, we will unlock to 22-Apr-2020, as that was the last date when the rate structures were locked.
9. Click on the Unlock hyperlink beside the date. Locked To date and Approved To date will be updated to one day before the Unlock To Date. This means you can make changes to rate structure from 22-Apr-2020 onwards.
10. To view the system audit logs for when rate structure is locked and approved, tick on the History checkbox to see the logs for one month as default. You may also change the From Date and To Date to see logs for other dates.
11. To disable rate structure administration, click on the Disable button. Once disabled, all rate structures are unlocked and when the rate structures are updated, they are deemed approved.
