Billing rates change over time, but applying the right rate for the right period is complicated. When rates increase, work performed before the increase should bill at the old rate. Managing this manually leads to billing errors.
We implemented effective-dated rate management so billing calculations automatically apply the correct rate based on when work was performed, not when it's billed.
Rates are stored with effective date ranges. When charges are calculated, the system looks up the rate that was in effect when the work occurred and applies it correctly—even for work spanning rate changes.
