Rate tables are used to maintain values that can vary over time. An example of a rate is a Gross Income limit based on the number of people in a household. Since rate tables can be created and maintained independently, this allows for a more flexible approach to rates that apply to products. Rate tables can be used for values that are effective during set time periods. For example, the reassessment of a case might call upon values in the past, where the rates have changed considerably, and these values can be stored on a rate table.
A rate table can contain an indefinite number of rows and columns which determines the number of cells. The values of individual rates are stored in these cells. Additionally, sub-rows and sub-columns can be added to each individual row and column. A rate table can also be cloned and used as a basis for a new rate table.
Each rate table has a type and effective date. Note that if two rate tables have been created for the same type, then the effective date of the rate tables continues until midnight of the day before the effective date of the next rate table.
Rate tables are described in detail in 'Appendix A' of the Cúram Integrated Case Management Configuration Guide.
