Charging a Flat Rate

You can charge a flat charge, or define a surcharge for a resource by specifying *ONE* in the Charge Unit field and providing a default rate, as shown on the panel below. Then use our charge algorithm (charge unit * rate = charge element):

*ONE* * 5.00 = SURCHARGE

The *ONE* makes the charge unit's value equal to one. It is then multiplied by the default rate. So, using the panel below, each MBJ ORD record generates a surcharge of 5.00.
