Threshold behavior
Service providers and their customers can make agreements on the maximum amounts that can be deducted from a customer budget (per order) by applying thresholds. The maximum threshold amounts that you apply to an order can be either be subtracted from the budget as a whole, or broken down by revenue type. By setting threshold behavior, you will ensure that amounts are not subtracted from the budget when they exceed the set thresholds.
Threshold settings can be made per budget definition. The settings are applicable per budget, per order 'cluster' (main order and suborders), and per order revenue type (depending on whether the 'specific' or the 'overall' threshold settings are selected).
The following threshold settings are available:
Setting to determines if threshold behavior applies:
• Behavior at exceeded threshold
Threshold setting to subtract an overall amount:
• Threshold amount for Overall revenues
Threshold settings to subtract specific amounts per revenue type:
• Threshold amount for general revenues
• Threshold amount for labor hour revenues
• Threshold amount for materials revenues
• Threshold amount for travel revenues
• Threshold amount for subcontractor revenues
 | Once the budget definition is activated, you can no longer change the threshold behavior setting. However, it is still possible to increase / decrease the threshold amounts. If you adjust the amounts, and if there is at least one order revenue line linked to the budget, be aware that you will no longer be able to delete any existing values in the order's revenue lines, nor add new values. |
