Master with Multiple Children with Different Black Rate |
Back Top Previous Next |
Consider a master contract with some black and some colour contracts. Most contracts share a common black and/or colour rate, but there are some contracts that charge a different rate. Master Meters can be used to manage the majority of contracts, but override any differences by unticking Master Meter on the child contract. Consider the simple example of a master with one black and one colour contract. The black contract's rate is considered the master meter rate, but the black rate on the colour contract is different. The colour contract's master meter value on the black meter can be unticked. This allows it to be different to the master.
Master meter setup is as follows:
