Adding a Rate for Each Grade Discount Table

Overview

Use this job aid to add a rate for each grade discount table. Discount tables facilitate ticket entry. By standardizing the values for each grade, discount tables are used in the calculations for each discount and/or premium. Discount tables should contain all possible grade factors. Processing of scale tickets may occur faster and with fewer manual operations by the users if all grade factors are included.
