Pricing Method Fields

Pricing Method	Description
Half Day/Full Day (Event Time)	The total number of hours for the event gets counted and then compared to the number of hours in the Hours column. If the total number of hours for the event is less than or equal to the hours in the Hours column, then the Half Day price is charged for the resource. If the total number of hours for the event is greater than the hours in the Hours column, then the Full Day price is charged for the resource.
Half Day/Full Day (Reserved Time)	The total number of hours for the reservation (event time and reserved time) is counted and then compared to the number of hours in the Hours column. If the total number of hours for the reservation is less than or equal to the hours in the Hours column, then the Half Day price is charged for the resource. If the total number of hours for the reservation is greater than the hours in the Hours column, then the Full Day price is charged for the resource.
Half Day/Full Day (Service Time)	The total number of hours for the service time is counted and then compared to the number of hours in the Hours column. If the total number of hours for the service time is less than or equal to the hours that are indicated in the Hours column, then the Half Day price is charged for the billable item. If the total number of hours for the service time is greater than the hours in the Hours column, then the Full Day price is charged for the billable item. This pricing method is only available for a resource with a service order.

If you specify a minimum charge for a resource, then the system compares this value to the calculated hourly rate and applies the greater of the two charges. If you specify a maximum charge for a resource, then the system compares this value to the calculated hourly rate and applies the lesser of the two charges.
