  2. Fill in the fields:
    • Tariff Name
    • Accounting type — select the required type: per hour, per minute, one-time payment

    • There is no need to change the status yet, as it can only be changed after adding the detail.

      Directory of Tariffs
      Schedule (Accessibility List)
      The work schedule (availability) of tariffs for each restaurant. The default period is "Always". If the tariff should not work in the restaurant, select the preset period "Never" (the element will also not be imported into the StoreHouse database).
      If necessary, you can specify a different period entered in the "Periods" directory, for example, to display from 9 to 11 am.

      Main
      Code – a unique code of the directory element in the system. It is assigned automatically, but can be changed manually;
      Name – the name of the directory element;
      Alt Name – the name of the element in an alternative language;
      Status – the status of the directory element;

      Tariff
      Default limit – the time that will be automatically displayed at the cash register in the "Time limit" field on the tariff restrictions screen. The limit can be changed manually.
      No-Charge Time (only for hourly/minute) – the time from the moment the tariff is turned on, during which the tariff amount will be zero (Hour: min). For example, the first 5 minutes are not paid, since the guest must have time to approach the gaming table during this time.
      Max. Time (only for hourly/minute) – the time after which the tariff automatically ends. (Hour: min).

      The maximum time can also be limited at the station (Time limit), this value must be less than the maximum time in the tariff properties.

      Min. Time (only for hourly/minute) – time less than which cannot be paid. After the billing reaches the value specified in the No-Charge Time property, the amount will be calculated for the time specified in this property, even if the actual time of use of the device was less;

      Max. amount – the amount upon reaching which the charging is automatically terminated. 

      The maximum amount can also be limited at the station (Money limit), this value must be less than the maximum amount in the tariff properties.

      Min. amount – the amount less than which cannot be charged in this tariff.

      If both Min. Time and Min. Amount are specified, the condition with the higher amount will be applied to the payment.
      For example, Min. amount is 100 rubles, amount to be paid taking into account Min. Time is 50 rubles. Total amount according to the tariff is 100 rubles, because it is more.

      Money Round Rule - select the rule by which the final amount for the tariff is rounded (to 1 kopeck, to 1 ruble, to 100 rubles, etc.). The rounding principle is "Up".
      Rate Type — tariff type: “Per hour”, “Per minute”, “One-time payment”;
      Round to — round the billing time to the number of minutes specified in this property.

      For example, tariff settings: round up to 5 minutes, time rounding rule - "Up". If the actual game time is 4 minutes, then it is rounded up to 5. The tariff amount is also rounded up to the cost for 5 minutes. If the "Per hour" tariff is selected, then to round up to a full hour, you need to set "Up" and 60 minutes.

      Time Round Rule - select the rounding principle for the billing time (Up/Down/Mathematically) up to the number of minutes specified in "Round up to".

      Basic
      Fiscal group – the relation of the tariff to the fiscal group; for each restaurant you can specify its own fiscal group;
      Item kind – when creating a tariff, the field is set to "Service". It is possible to select other item kinds.

      Classifications – This property allows you to include the tariff in a specific category within the classifications.
      If an element does not belong to any category, then in the Classifications directory it will be in the root node of the classifications, but excluded from all its categories. In reports by categories, such elements will be allocated to a separate group without a category.
