The NCCA Service Allocation Prices page can be used to specify prices for the Service Allocation or for the pricing in the journals.
The Service Allocation Prices (as is the Service Allocation) are based on Cost Dimension 1.
Thus, the Cost Dimension 1 or the Credit Cost Dimension 1 is used for pricing in the journals.
Prices can be specified either for a unit or for a work type.
Note
Pricing can be enabled for a journal in the Journal Batch Name via the Use Service Allocation Prices field.
It is also possible to use pricing in the budget. To do this, activate the Use Service Allocation Prices field in the Budget Name.
Fields
Cost Dimension 1 Code
Specifies the code of the Service Allocation Dimension for which the price is valid.
If no code is specified, the price is valid for all codes that do not have their own price defined with the same combination of Unit of Measure Code and Work Type Code.
The caption of the field depends on how the cost dimension 1 is set up in the Cost Dimension Setup.
Cost Dimension 1 Name
Specifies the name of the Service Allocation Dimension.

Process of pricing in the journal
If a work type is specified, pricing first searches for a price for Cost Dimension 1 and the specified Work Type Code.
If no price is found, a search is made for a price without Cost Dimension 1 but with the specified Work Type Code.
If no price is found, a price is searched for Cost Dimension 1 and the specified Unit of Measure Code.
If no price is found, a search is made for a price without Cost Dimension 1 but with the specified Unit of Measure Code.
Example
The following example shows how pricing works.
In this example the department was set up as cost dimension 1.

The first two lines were created without department code and are therefore valid for all departments.
For department code PROD, two additional prices have been defined for Unit of Measure Code HOUR and Work Type Code EXTERNAL.
Pricing results
The following table shows the prices determined by the pricing for different combinations of department code, Unit of Measure Code and Work Type Code based on a Cost Type with Unit of Measure Code HOUR.
