Bill Rate Changes for Contract Lines

You can change the bill rate for a contract line in two ways:

  • Change the contract specific rates within the Contracts work area

  • Change the standard rates using the Manage Rate Schedules task

The following sections explain the impact of changing the bill rate for a contract line using the two methods.

When you change a bill rate override on a bill plan and amend the contract, the application marks all transactions that have a transaction date on or after the contract amendment effective date for adjustment processing. To recalculate and display the revised bill rates, perform the actions listed in the following table within the Contract Invoices work area.

Invoice Status

Action

Draft

Generate the invoice again or recalculate the invoice details.

Submitted

  1. Approve or reject the invoice.

  2. Perform the steps for an Approved or Approval Rejected invoice.

Approval Rejected

Any one of the following:

  1. Reset the invoice to Draft status and perform the steps for a Draft invoice.

  2. Delete and regenerate the invoice.

Approved

  3. Release the invoice and perform the steps for a Released invoice.

Released, Transferred, Transfer Rejected, or Accepted

Generate invoices for the applicable contract, which will create credit memos or credit invoice lines to adjust the original bill rates to the revised bill rates.
