What is a Rate Card?

 Click here to expand...

A Rate Card

  • is a product specification with a range of quantities and fixed prices for those quantities for a specified contract period.

  • can be created for any product that needs to be purchased in bulk, and which thereby enables cost savings to be passed on to the Customer.

  • can function in a similar way to a stock order or to a quote request, depending on how it is processed.

Two ways to create a Rate Card

There are two ways to create a Rate Card, from Configuration > Catalogue Management and from an existing Quote Request Project. The only difference is that, when creating a Rate Card from a Project, the specification and prices are automatically populated from the Project Part. If a Service Provider realises that they are repeatedly recreating the same Quote Request specification for one or more Customers, they can turn the Quote Request into a Rate Card that Customers can order directly.
