Modifiers Primary Panel

The Modifiers primary panel is used for creating, examining or updating a modifier. A modifier name can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters, while the modifier itself can be either an amount or a percentage that is applied to the charge element after it has been calculated. Modifiers generate a modified charge element record, thereby ensuring that the original charge element record maintains its integrity. This allows you to maintain an effective audit trail.
