Search window, rate number

Example: 101, where 1 is the service number and 01 is the rate number for the rate that is being created for the service. This format will help you organize rate table by grouping all of the rates togther by service number. More 

Tip! Try choosing rate numbers that correspond to the service that will be using the rate, so operators can easily identify which rates belong to which service. For example, set up the rates for Service No. 1 with rate numbers that begin with the number one: 101, 102, 103... Begin the rates for Service No. 3 with the number three: 301, 302, 303... and so on.
