Creating Rate Chart & Rate
Rate Chart is a collection of individual destination based rates. For example, “Selling Rate” is the name of the rate chart which consist selling rate for Bangladesh Proper (880), Bangladesh Dhaka (8802), Bangladesh Mobile (8801), Bangladesh Chittagong (8803), India Mobile (919) and many others. So, “Selling Rate” is a rate chart which is collection of various rates of various countries and destinations. Thus, for proper functioning, we need to add a rate chart first and then add rate items under that rate chart. Rate Chart itself do not have any rate or destination, so adding only rate chart without any rate item into it will not work.

Based on
|
If you have created any rate chart previously, you can create rate chart now based on that rate chart by selecting that rate chart from this drop down.List of names of all previously created rate chart is automatically available to this drop down. This will save a lot of time for you. If you create a new rate chart based on another previously created rate chart, it will copy all rate items with their respective settings to the new rate chart. Along with Rate Multiplication or Addition facilities which is available just after this field, you can change the rate charged for any specific destination. Addition and multiplication is described hereunder. You can add additional rate items to the rate chart as well once the rate chart is created. Procedure for adding a rate item under rate chart is described in further sections. If you want to create a fresh rate chart, select Blank Table from the drop down.. |

Rate Multiply By
|
This option is effective if you create a new rate chart based on any previously created rate chart. The number you provide here, previous “rate per minute” amount will be multiplied by that number. For example, lets say you are creating a selling rate chart based on a buying rate chart which you have previously added. Now you want to add 25% profit with your selling rate based on your buying rate. So, if you are purchasing a route $0.04 per minute (namely 4 cents) and you want to add 25% profit on it. 25% of $0.04 is $0.01. If you add this profit with base rate, your selling rate is $0.05. For this operation, put 1.25 on the field (multiply with 1.25) which will add 25% with all rate items rate per minute in the newly created rate chart. If you multiply $0.04 with 1.25, you will get $0.05 which is adding 25% with the base rate. Like this for 10%, you can multiply with 1.1, for 20% you can multiply with 1.2.
At the very same way, you can reduce rate by a fixed proportion as well. For example, you have a rate of $0.04 set, now you want to reduce it by 25%. So multiply it with 0.75 which will give you $0.03. If you do not want to multiply the rate to increase in a fixed proportion or percentage, you can just put 1 on the field. Whatever number you multiply with 1, it will remain the same number.

Add Rate With
|
This is another magnificent feature which gives you superior control over copying a rate chart and establishing new rate. You can add a fixed amount of profit with all of your rate with this feature. Lets take the previous example again. This time lets say you want to add $0.0025 (quarter cents) of profit with each of your rate item. You can do it by simply putting 0.0025 on the field. So, if your base rate was $0.04, your rate will be now $0.0425. At very same way, you can deduct a specific number from base rate of all rate item available in the base rate. For example, if you want to reduce your rate by $0.0025, simply put “-0.0025” and it will deduct the amount from your rate. Remember the minus (-)sign. If you do not want to add or deduct anything, put into the field. |

Assigned To
|
You can create a rate chart and assign that to any of user entity i.e. any level of reseller or company that is directly under you. Then they can see this rate chart and use that rate chart. If you assign myself, it will be assigned to yourself and no one else will be able to see this rate chart or use this rate chart. |
