4.9.6 Specifying Work Unit Surcharges and Minimum Charges


You can apply a surcharge or a minimum charge to an
individual unit of work in a journal file algorithm.

To specify a surcharge, use SURC as the computation code and
the surcharge percentage as its associated rate.

To specify a minimum charge, use JMIN as the computation code
and the minimum charge as its associated rate.

Refer to Section 4.3.1.4.1 and enter this information on the
Rate Table - Direct Assignment Algorithm Worksheet, Figure
4-21.

Surcharges and minimum charges may not be appropriate for
journal files associated with the following CA MICS products
because each record has been summarized to the DAYS time-span
and thus does not represent a single unit of work:  CICS,
DB2, IDMS, IMS, and VCA.  There is an option to bill for VCA
at the DETAIL level.
