Burdening › Burdening Level Escalation Table › Time Vary Burdening Levels

Time Vary Burdening Levels

Burdening can change over time. Therefore, you can define the time varying burdening, or the escalation rate for a particular burdening class, at each burdening level. Use the rows in the escalation table on the burdening level properties page to time vary the burdening.

The burdening level rate type dictates the type used for the escalation table. If you do not define an escalation row for a date, the associated burdening level rate is applied to the date. Escalation matrices cannot have date gaps, or zero values.

Example

If your burdening rate escalated each month, add a new row for each month and define the rate for the month.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the burdening matrix.

   The general page appears.

2. Click Levels.

   The list page appears.

3. Click the Properties icon next to the number of the level to vary the time.

   The properties page appears.

4. Complete the following fields:

   Start

   Defines the date of starting to apply the escalation rate.

   Finish

   Defines the last date until which the escalation rate is applied.

   Percentage

   Displayed if the burdening level rate type is percentage. Defines the percentage to calculate and apply to the burdening rate for the level.

   Amount

   Displayed if the burdening level rate type is flat amount. Defines the flat amount to calculate and apply to the burdening rate for the level.

5. Save the changes.
