The rate column entity represents a column in a given rate table. Each column can contain one or more cells. It contains the following fields:
| Entity Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Rate Header ID | This field is the ID of the RateHeader with which this record is associated. |
| Parent Column ID | This field is the ID of the parent column of this column. This will only be populated for sub-columns. This field is optional. |
| Rate Column Key Min | This field is the minimum value for this column. This field is optional. |
| Rate Column Key Max | This field is the maximum value for this column. This field is optional. |
| Rate Column Key Value | This field is the value for this column. When there is only a single row in a table, this value is used. This field is optional. |
| Rate Column Type | This field is the type of the column. It is populated from the 'Rate ColumnType' code table. There should be one entry in this code table for each rate column in the system. |
| Rate Column Index | This field is the index of the column within the rate table. If the column has no parent, this field refers to the index of the column within the table as a whole. If the column has a parent (making it a sub-column), then this field refers to the index of the column within the parent column. |
| Any Minimum Indicator | This field is used to indicate if any minimum value has been set for this column. If the value of this field is 'False', then no minimum value has been set for this column. |
| Any Maximum Indicator | This field is used to indicate if any maximum value has been set for this column. If the value of this field is 'False', then no maximum value has been set for this column. |
