Rate information is created and maintained from the Rates menu option, which is accessible from the Product Setup screen. When a product is first created, there is no rate data associated with it.

2. If the product is not already displayed, retrieve it (see Searching for Products or Suppliers).
3. From the Product Setup menu, select Rates.

   

4. Click Insert to add a new entry.
