Managing Job Title and Group Job Title Billing Rates on Rate Cards

You can add billing rates for Job Titles to Rate Cards so that common rates can be consistently and efficiently applied to multiple projects, which reduces the need to set up and maintain rates directly on individual projects. 

After Job Titles are added to a Rate Card, they are known as Rate Card Items. Each Rate Card Item has a corresponding billing rate for each Rate Card Version (rate cards can have one or more versions).

Deleting a Rate Card Item from a Rate Card removes all rates associated with that item from all versions of the Rate Card.

If a Rate Card is in use, changes to its rates will mark all projects that use it for recalculation. You can manually force recalculation of a project by using the Recalculate action on the project’s context menu.
