Current Rate Column on a Timekeeper Rate Request

This article provides the information about Current rate column on a Timekeeper Rate Request.

When a Rate Request with Timekeeper Rate items is submitted from Collaborati to TeamConnect, the proposed Timekeeper rate details are displayed, and if there is a current timekeeper rate, this will be displayed in the column “Current” for the rate item. 

When checking for the current Timekeeper rate to populate in the Rate Request “Current” column, there are several key fields referenced from the Timekeeper’s associated Contact record. There are two different rate types, which determine the set of fields validated on the Contact record’s Rates.

For rate item type “Timekeeper Rate” on a Rate Request, the following fields on the Default Rates table are referenced for the associated Timekeeper :

  • Rate
  • Start Date
  • End Date

For rate item type “Invoice Task Rate” on a Rate Request, the following fields on the Invoice Task Rates table are referenced for the associated Timekeeper:

  • Task
  • Rate
  • Start Date
  • End Date

The Rate Currency on the Contact record is also used only to display the currency when a current rate is found and populated on the associated rate item.
