Splitting an Existing Date Range

If a supplier advises that another rate period is available (e.g. 24 Dec – 02 Jan), or an error in setting the dates has been made, then inserting a new date range inside an existing date range requires the existing date range to be split.

Screen Shot 56: Split Rate Period

Move the mouse pointer over the date range/price code to be split and right click. A sub menu opens with two choices – ‘Split Date Range’ and ‘Mark for [D]eletion’. Click on ‘Split Date Range’. This will open a small window in which the start and end dates of the split can be entered.

When ‘OK’ is clicked, the new date range will be inserted, with all Price Codes and rate types from the original date range.

Screen Shot 58: Split Date Range Result

Splitting the rate performs the following functions automatically:

• Inserts the new rate period (24 Dec 09 – 02 Jan 10).
• Amends the original date range end date to be one day less than the new date range start date – i.e. from 31 Mar 10 to 02 Jan 10.
• Inserts another date range from the date after the new date range end date to the original date ranges end date – i.e. from 03 Jan 10 to 31 Mar 10.

The rates for the new date range can now be edited via the Option Rates tab.
