Rate Schedule

You can use rates to calculate amounts for costing, billing, and workplan and financial planning. Oracle Projects determines rates from a combination of rate schedules and rate overrides. You can define the following four types of rate schedules in Oracle Projects:

• Employee: Use this type of rate schedule to define standard hourly rates or percentage markups by employee. You can use employee rate schedules as planning schedules, cost rate schedules, and bill rate schedules.
• Job: Use this type of rate schedule to define standard hourly rates by job title. When you enter a job-based rate schedule, you enter a job group to indicate which jobs are used to determine rates. You can use job schedules as planning rate schedules, cost rate schedules, and bill rate schedules.
  
• Resource Class : Use this type of rate schedule to define planning rates by resource class, or as a combination of resource class and organization.
• Nonlabor: Use this type of rate schedule to define rates or percentage markups by nonlabor expenditure type or a combination of nonlabor expenditure type and nonlabor resource. You can use nonlabor rate schedules as planning rate schedules, cost rate schedules, and bill rate schedules.
