Fee Category Business Rules

Some fee item attributes, or tags associated with each fee, are required for all fee items. Others are conditionally required, and still others, depending on the fee category, will result in an error. The rules of each fee category determine which settings and rates are applicable for a given fee item. These rules are enforced in the PPM GUI, but are not explained in the PPM XML schema. The business rules section explains these rules by fee category, so that XML requests are accepted with minimal errors.

If a field is not present in the table for a given fee category then it does not apply to that category. Only the fields that apply to each category are listed. Entering a value for a field that is not listed for a particular category will result in a validation error when processing that fee item, and the fee item will be rejected.
