NOTICE:

The Percent Matrix was introduced in 2007. Previously, a calculation code in Edit Optional Rates was used to calculate percentage items. The period from 2007 until November, 2009, was a 'transition period' and the use of the Percentage Matrix was optional during this time. However, as of the release dated 11-17-09, use of the Percentage Matrix became mandatory, and the calculation code in the Optional Rates file became obsolete. Therefore, installations that have not set up records in the Percentage Matrix file MUST do so prior to upgrading to a release dated 11-17-09 or later.

The initial Percent Matrix records should be entered with an effective date that is as early as the oldest RA on the system. This will allow percentage items to calculate if old RAs are edited and 're-calculated'. If there is no Percentage Matrix record in effect for the date of the RA, the percentage items will re-calculate at zero.

If there have been changes regarding which items are subject to taxes ( sales tax, GST, PST, VAT, Airport Fees, Surcharges, etc.), multiple records should be set up in the Percent Matrix with proper effective dates to reflect those changes. For example, it may be that LDW was not taxable in 2008, but it became taxable in January, 2009. This would warrant a Percent Matrix record showing LDW not taxable in 2008, and another record withan effective date of January 2009 showing it is taxable.

Note that only users with "ALL" access can enter records in the Percent Matrix with dates earlier than the current day.
Contact Thermeon's Customer Support Dept. for help in setting up the Percent Matrix records.
