Bill Rule

With Bill Rule, you can pre set the cost details for incoming incident/service requests. You can do so by defining rules and criteria with certain service/incident request parameters. Once a incident/service request matching the rule's defining criteria arrives, the cost details will be automatically set for them based on your prior inputs. You can pre set two types of cost details namely fixed and differential cost using the Bill Rule.

• Once you have defined the rule, configure the cost details for incident/service requests that matches the above set rule.

Two types of cost can be configured, Fixed and Differential.

• For Fixed Cost, you can set the fixed costs for requests such as, "Fixed Cost Per Request" and "Fixed Cost Per Hour".
