Introduction

The minimum required data for the many Charge Types and rates/multipliers of Task Price Tiers is highly variable. While the TrackTik web application tolerates more combinations to allow the radio buttons to show/hide and remember historical settings, the API interface for it is very strict.

The validation follows a matrix with 3 degrees of depth and another for add vs modify operations. They can be summarized as follows (5x3 or 5x2):

Charge Type : Actual (Completed Controls)

Holiday Rate Type : Do not charge holiday

Holiday Rate Type : Rate Multiplier

Holiday Rate Type : Per Patrol

Charge Type : Actual / Time Matrix

Holiday Rate Type : Do not charge
