The Rates tab contains the destination, owner, and producer rates used by the system during ticket entry. You will actually be updating existing records, since the destinations, owners, and producers have been added earlier in the tract maintenance process.

The upper half of the window contains the destinations’ and owners’ information. The lower half of the window contains the producers’ information. The system provides you with two methods to edit tract rates.
The first method is called edit in place. Edit in place means you can double-click on the highlighted record and make changes by tabbing, pressing the enter key, or double-clicking each field with the mouse.
To save and exit the Tract window, press Page Down, click on the OK button, or press “Alt O”. To exit without saving the Tract window, click on the Cancel button, press “Alt C”, press Esc, or click on the “X” in the upper right corner of the screen.
