Inventory: Regular vs Onsite Rates
In Sho-Soft, inventory items and workforce entries can include two types of rates: Regular Rates and Onsite Rates. These rates help you manage different pricing scenarios for events.
Regular Rates
-
Definition: The standard rate you charge for an item or workforce role under normal conditions.
-
Use Case: Everyday pricing when equipment, staff, or resources are scheduled in advance.
-
Example: A chair rented for $2 per day, or a technician hired at $25/hour.
Onsite Rates
-
Definition: The rate charged when an item or staff role is requested or added during the event itself, rather than scheduled beforehand.
-
Use Case: Covers last-minute additions or on-demand needs during live events.
-
Example: Adding extra chairs on the event day at $3 per chair, or requesting additional crew at $35/hour.
