Qualified Rates Entry Panel

The Qualified Rates entry panel is used to associate different rates with an algorithm based on certain criteria. In the panel below, we are qualifying the rates used in the CPU-CHARGE charge element based on shift. The protected fields at the top of the panel indicate we are defining rates for the CPU-CHARGE charge element for MBJ ORDs. We use the lower part of the panel to name the rate qualifier and its associated rate - the rate that is applied when the qualifying condition is true.

Note: Qualifiers are tested one at a time. CA PMA Chargeback assigns the rate associated with the first qualifier that is true. Therefore, the order in which you define qualifiers is important.

If none of the qualifying conditions are met, the default rate specified on the Charge Elements Entry panel (section Charge Elements Entry Panel) is used.

Note: The first time this panel appears, you are in insert mode; no lines appear under the Cmd column, the scroll bar does not show a row count, and the only active panel function keys are F2, F5, and F11. When you press F5 (Save), a message appears telling you the insert is successful. At this point, you are in update mode. The panel scroll bar provides a row count, the Cmd column is active (lines appear under the column) and all panel function keys are active. Pressing F5 (Save) displays a message telling you the update is successful.

Next is a description of the Qualified Rates entry panel.

Access

The Qualified Rates Entry panel appears when one of these events occurs:

You press F11 (Rate) on the Charge Elements Entry panel shown in Charge Elements Entry Panel.
You return from the Expanded Qualified Rates Entry panel.

Scrolling

F7 and F8 let you scroll backward and forward through the list of qualifiers and rates. You can also use the scroll bar to move through the listed normalizers.

Input

The Qualified Rates Entry panel contains the following input fields:

Cmd

This column is used to specify commands. Valid commands include:

D Deletes lines from the qualification.

I Inserts lines into the qualification using the Qualified Rate Insert (CBCQLRI) pop-up window. Refer to Sample Entry Panel Insert Pop-Up Window for information on how to use the Insert window.

Qualifier

A user-defined name that provides the test to determine if a conditional rate is applied. The ORD elements that comprise the Qualifier name are defined using the Qualifier Entry panel (section Qualifier Entry Panel).

Rate

The actual amount to be used if the condition is met.

Actions

F2=Qual: Takes you to the Qualifier Entry panel (section Qualifier Entry Panel).
F5= Save: Lets you save add and update information.
F6= Delete: Lets you delete rows from the table.
F7=Bkwd: Lets you scroll backwards through the table.
F8=Fwd: Lets you scroll forward through the table.
F11=Expand: Presents you with an eight-line display of the Qualified Rates Entry panel.

To continue with the Extended Charging Example, we press F2 (QUAL) to define our rate qualifiers. This action takes us to the Qualifier Entry panel shown in Qualifier Entry Panel.
