What are Multiplier Codes?
Depending on your contractual agreements with your clients you may want to use the multiplier code options within Enterprise. These will be extremely helpful if your billing agreements with your clients is based on a multiplier (mark-up).
Multiplier codes, or markups, allow you to create set ratios between the pay and bill rates. In administration, you can set up multiplier codes with default ratios that allow you to set a pay rate, for example, and have the bill rate automatically calculate. No more needing to grab your calculator!
Multiplier codes can be defaulted different for each customer record and are selected on the order record to populate either the bill or pay rates based on the opposite. In order for multiplier codes to be selected, they must first be set up under administration.
