Concept: Base and Adjustment Rate Tables
To control spend, you can set up a base rate table and specify standard reimbursement rates
for an expense item. You can associate adjustment rate tables with base rate tables to change
reimbursement rates for expense payees as required.
You can use different rate table types as base rate tables, adjustment rate tables, or
both:
Rate Table Type | Use As |
|---|---|
Amount Graduated Amount |
|
Graduated Percent | Adjustment rate tables |
Maximum | Base rate tables |
Example: Deduct Meal Expenses
You use a base rate table with your
Domestic Travel
expense item, allocating a 70
USD per diem allowance to employees who travel to New York. You also use an adjustment rate
table to deduct 15 USD each time employees receive a free meal during the business trip.Example: Increase Travel Expenses
You use a base rate table with your
International Travel
expense item, allocating a
50 EUR per diem allowance to employees who travel to French cities. You also use an
adjustment rate table to add 20 EUR to the base amount when employees travel to European
capital cities. This gives workers who travel to Paris a daily allowance of 70 EUR.
