Example: Determining the Number of Fee Tables to Set Up

For example, suppose you have the same late fee policy for all tenants in all buildings except one. In the one building, you have a second late fee policy for all tenants except one. For the one tenant, you have a third policy. That same tenant has another lease related to the first policy. The first two policies include all the bill codes, and the third policy is associated with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (bill code HVAC).

In this example, set up only four fee tables (four levels of detail) to satisfy all of the late fee requirements:

• Level 12 (all leases, tenants, buildings, and bill codes).

• Level 10 (all leases, tenants, and bill codes for a specific building).

• Level 2 (all bill codes for a specific lease, tenant, and building).

• Level 1 (a specific lease, tenant, building, and bill code).
