Note: Clients are able to approve or reject a rate requests in its entirety (i.e. a collection of submitted rate codes), or per code/line item. If rejected, the rate request is sent back to Collaborati for review.  A new rate request will need to be submitted. 

Rates that are accepted must be approved at the line item level and also at the rate request level

Example 1:

If a Rate Request has the status of "Rejected" (even if any line items show as "Approved") then none of the rates are approved.

Example 2:

If a Rate Request has the status of "Approved", but one or more line items are "Rejected" then only the rejected rate items are not approved.

Collaborati only stores your rate requests up to 90 days (depending on your settings) from the date it is approved or canceled.
