1.Select the Item you want to add/update

2.Click on the Duplicate button on the toolbar
 

 

3.A new Device Category will be added with the next Schedule Date calculated automatically as 1 July of the following year e.g. if you have selected an Item from the 01/07/2023 Schedule Date group, the new Device Category will be given 01/07/2024, and the Amount row will be selected for editing
 

 
Enter the new Amount and Tax and click the Save button

You should also update the Service Items and HSP Fees schedules as well!

Remember: The C3 category covers both custom devices and non-standard devices... The standard amount for a custom device should be entered here; the amount HSP pays for non-standard devices should be entered in the Devices window
