I apply two different prices for the same service. How can I manage that?

In LSP.expert, you can define different prices for the same service using domains of expertise.

It can happen that you apply different rates for a single service for a client, depending on the domain of expertise concerned. For example, you can decide to apply a higher rate than your "generic" rate for a translation if it's a medical/legal or technical text.

In this case, you can add a domain of expertise:

  • When you create a new service in the Prices tab of the client, you will see a 'Domain of expertise' field in the creation popup.

  • You cannot add a domain of expertise to a current price. To create a new price with the domain of expertise, you can click on the three dots at the end of the line of the service and select Duplicate. You will see a 'Domain of expertise' field in the popup that opens.

When you create a job, you will have to select the service and the domain of expertise concerned to have the right price applied by the system.

If you don't select the domain of expertise in the job creation popup, the system will calculate the estimate of the job using a price without any domains of expertise. You can then edit the Billing panel of the job and click on 'Select a price' to select the correct price.

To add, edit or delete a domain of expertise, go to Settings > System values > Domains of expertise and use the blue 'Add new' button or the three dots at the end of the lines.
