Flat Amount Method

To calculate the fee amount using the flat amount method, the system uses the flat amount that you specify. Because this method uses only a flat amount, you do not cross-reference any billing lines to the fee billing line. However, you must specify whether the flat amount fee is a recurring or one time occurrence. If you indicate that the amount is recurring, you must also specify a recurring frequency.

If you do not select the Cumulative check box for the flat amount fee billing line, the invoice Generation program (R52121) generates a fee for only the flat amount. If you select the Cumulative check box for a flat amount fee billing line, the R52121 program subtracts any fee amounts from previous invoices from the flat amount to calculate the fee for the current invoice.
