Apply As Lump Sum
By default a minimum charge is applied when the Total Amount calculated is less than the Minimum
Charge . In some cases the minimum charge is different for each Rate Type . For example, Rate Type 1
may have a minimum charge of $5.00, Rate Type 2 may have a minimum charge of $2.00, and Rate
Type 3 may have a minimum charge of $.50. When minimum charges are calculated separately for each
rate type, turn the Apply as Lump Sum feature off (an ‘X’ does not appear in the box to the left of the
feature).
