Rates

This file can be used many different ways to price your inventory. Pricing can be defined for a particular category or for a particular cost range within a category. Pricing can be defined by a number of "turns" multiplied by the cost and dividing that number of months in the rental agreement. You also have the option to turn this feature off and price items individually.
