New Features
AR Monthly Rate Calculation
A new feature was added to the Foster Care system programs to change how monthly rates are calculated. (Workspace > Administration Menu > Program Settings > Programs > Program name > Setup tab > Program Setup section).
The new option is called Monthly Rates: Use total rate (vs. components) for pro-rated per-diems without rounding. This option is only available if Rates: Use a monthly flat rate (instead of daily) is enabled.
When enabled, pro-rated per-diems will be calculated out to the fourth decimal place without rounding rates to the nearest penny until the total calculation is complete. This can produce a result that more accurately matches the expected pro-rated daily rate a funding source may be using.
For example, a monthly rate of $367.31 is pro-rated for June based on a standard formula of Rate ($367.31)/Days in Month (30) x Days Billed.
- Without this setting, $367.31/30= $12.24 but $12.24 x 30 = $367.20 not $367.31
- With this setting, $367.31/30= 12.2436 and is not rounded until after the number of Days Billed are applied. 12.2436 x 30 days= 367.308 which will then round up to $367.31
