On the XTRF Platform, each client has its own price profile. The client's price profile contains financial information, such as the price list valid for this client, the currency you settle the payments, discounts, and so on. All those pieces of information are automatically used as the default payment settings for completed jobs. You may create many price profiles for your client in different currencies.

1. Sign in to the Home Portal.

2. Go to the Clients module.

3. Locate the client in question and click the corresponding icon.

4. Go to the Rates tab.

   Open

   

5. Click the Add price profile button. A Price Profile - Add pop-up window appears.

   Open

   

6. Provide the Name of the new profile.
   You can add the profile currency in the price profile name to ease using the multiple price profiles.

7. Select a Currency for this profile. To learn more about currencies in the XTRF, see the https://help.xtm.cloud/xtrf/home-portal/configuration-menu/en/currencies.html article.
   You won't be able to change the currency later.

8. (Optional) In the Minimum Charge field, set the lowest cost of your services for this client. If the client requests a service that costs less than your minimal charge, the system will automatically put the minimum charge provided in this field into the Total Agreed field in the project's Receivables.
   Minimum charges of the price profile will be overwritten by the minimum charges set for the specific language combinations (see the Add a language combination guide).

9. (Optional) In the Price List drop-down list, you can select an available price list to set the rates for this price profile. To learn how to add a price list, see the Manage client's price lists guide.

10. (Optional) In the Duplicate from drop-down list, you can select another price profile in your system to copy the rates from there.

11. (Optional) Select a Default Contact Person from the drop-down list of this client's contact persons. This person will receive all related messages whenever this price profile is selected in a task.

12. (Optional) If you want to add a surcharge or discount to this price profile, click the Edit button in the Discount / Surcharge section. The Discounts/Surcharges pop-up window appears:

The next step is to create a language combination for the newly added price profile. You can create it if you want to use client rates different than those stated in one of the price lists.
