This page guides you through the process of creating and maintaining pricelist records.

The topics on this page:

Introduction

Pricelists are accessed via the Administration > 5. Pricelist sub menu. Pricelist records reflect both the lists that are delivered and maintained by Brevity, which catalogue the service rates as per the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits document (previously known as the NDIS Price Guide), and lists that have been created and maintained by the business. For example, a custom pricelist with service rates that vary from what is in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits document.

Pricelist Types

Navigating the Pricelist Form

Click to expand and review the fields and objects that comprises the pricelist form

The fields and objects that comprise the Pricelist page are explained below:

Name: This field is used to input the name that will identify the pricelist.
Type: This is a drop down field that lists the rate type for the pricelist. The options available are Charge rate or Pay rate. Charge rates are used to calculate the client service charge for the client service that uses the service type. Pay rates are used to calculate the service total payable to the employee for the client service that uses the service type.
Effective From: This field is used to input the effective start date of the pricelist. The effective from date can be entered manually or selected from the date picker.
Effective To: This field is used to input the effective to date of the pricelist. The effective to date can either be input in free text or selected from the calendar picker.
Pricelist Rates: This section enables service types to be added against the pricelist, and the setting of charge rates according to the service schedule (day, afternoon, weekends and public holidays) for the service types.

Editing a Pricelist

The effective dates and charge rates for the service types in a custom Pricelist may be updated.

Updates to the standard NDIS price lists that are delivered by Brevity are limited to effective end dates (in the absence of a new pricelist) the exclusion/inclusion of service types and service rate variations. It is important to note that when working with service type rates within the standard pricelist that the rate never exceeds what is listed within the NDIS price guide(set rates to the maximum but adjustments to a lower rate can be applied if the business supports this, however in doing so will have an impact for all client services that the utilise that pricelist ~ service type).
