Tip

If the client has the Hidden Numbers option enabled and the code appears in the code deck from the invoice template, the number, code, and code name become hidden. If the code doesn't appear in the code deck, the last *n characters of the number are hidden. The code deck from the rate table is only used to identify code names.

    Tip

    1. The system will push notification after adding new rates. Please note, if the user changes the Effective Date field of current rates manually, it won't activate notifications.

    2. When you force Rate Notification, it does not send all the rates with the Effective Date in the future but only the rates that it will be late to send with the next scheduled notification (according to the Agreement assigned to the Rate Table). If there's no Agreement, the Rate Notification will send the rates with Effective Date being no later than the end of the next day.

    3. We recommend using this type of notifications for testing purposes. It doesn't cancel a regular notification nor change the last export date.
