Claim Schedule Maintenance
Use this form to set up schedules that can be assigned to jobs with a schedule-based charge type. Schedules are a way of setting up pre-determined cost lines that default to the AR Invoice Entry form for schedule-based jobs.
The cost type and sales code is always expected to be the same, but the quantity may change each time an invoice is generated. You can also assign fixed cost lines can also be assigned to schedules, enabling line quantities to default to invoice lines.

Schedule Line Details
Code/Description
Enter a user-defined code and description to represent the cost line.
Total Qty
Enter the total quantity of the cost line. This determines the Amount using the Rate, Convert, and Multiply parameters. You can change the quantity during invoice entry.
Amount
Greentree Desktop updates this value when you enter a Rate value or if you change the Total Qty, Rate, Convert, or Multiply parameters.
Unit
Enter a user-defined unit for the cost line.
Activity/Description
These fields do not interface with invoice processing.
Rate
Enter the rate of the cost. This is multiplied by the Total Qty to determine the Amount for the line. The Convert and Multiply parameters are also used to determine the final Amount value.
Convert
The default value is one but can be edited with the Multiply option to indicate that the final Amount should be divided by (multiply option not selected), or multiplied by (multiply option selected) the convert factor. You can set up more complex structures for pricing using the line quantity that is being invoiced. For example:
Rate is $100 per 500 units
If the Total Qty is equal to 800, the Amount calculates to (100 x 800) = $80000 if no conversion is entered.
Enter a Convert factor of 0.002 to reflect the basis of the rate, and select the Multiply option
The Amount is (100 x 800 x 0.002) = $160, which is the correct value.
Multiply
See Convert above.
Fixed
Select this option if you want the line to default to the AR Invoice Entry form with the Total Qty entered pre-populated as the invoice line quantity. If this option is not selected, the Current Quantity is empty for lines that default to the invoice, forcing a quantity to be entered.
Note: You can edit the quantity in the AR Invoice Entry form.
Min Qty/Min Amt

Leave these fields empty if you do not want to specify any minimum restrictions.
Max Qty/Max Amt
Enter the maximum quantity and/or value for the sales line. This indicates that you do not want to generate an invoice for this line unless the quantity and amount are less than (or equal to) the maximums specified here.
During invoice entry, if a current quantity is entered that is greater than the maximum quantity, or a calculated amount is greater than the maximum amount, Greentree Desktop updates the quantity or amount to the maximums specified here.
