Condition record validity periods

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've created a new condition type for monthly hire charges. The net value depends on the condition value x the number of months. For instance:

Condition type ZVMS = £100

contract start date 01/01/2008

contract end date 31/12/2008

Net Value = £100 x 12 months = £1200

No problem so far. I got this working.

However I want the second year the rate to be £200 per month, the third year £300 per month etc.

I thought about creating the condition records with the following validity periods:

ZVMS = £100 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2008

ZVMS = £200 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2009

ZVMS = £300 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2010

I then create a contract with start and end date:

01/01/2008 to 31/12/2010

I would expect to see the different rates in the billing plan, but each billing date has a value of £100. I thought the validity period would determine the rates for the different billing dates.

This is what I expected to see in the billing plan:

Bill date 31.05.2008 £100

Bill date 30.06.2008 £100

...

Bill date 28.02.2009 £200

Bill date 31.03.2009 £200

....

Bill date 28.02.2010 £200

Bill date 31.03.2010 £200

Instead of that, each billing date has a price of £100. I assume this is because when I created the contract, the condition value for that period was £100.

I want to see the different rates in my billing plan, according to the validity period of the condition records that I've created. Does this make any sense at all?

Thanks

I know the fields. They haven't got anything to do with my problem. In the billing plan screen I can see the different billing dates and values.

As I said in the description of my problem I have different validity periods for my condition values (£100, £200 and £300) and I would expect to see that reflected in the billing plan screen.

If for a period of 3 years I have 3 different rates for the same condition type and I have a contract for 3 years, how come I can't see the different values in my billing plan?
