# Discount Rates Schedules don't work when using Standard Charging

Discount Rate Schedules don't take effect and the job is costed incorrectly.

---

If Standard Charging is used rather than a Job Cost Method when setting up charging for a given Spool Queue, Discount Rates are not correctly calculated.

This is a known problem in Pharos versions 7.1 and 7.2. Customers can workaround the problem by setting up a Job Cost Method.

Article: [How do I set up Job Cost Methods?](http://pharos.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/pharos.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=990)

7.2 will be updated with a hot fix to resolve the issue. Please check the Pharos downloads web site for hot fix information.
