How to Self-Upload Buy Rates

The Self-Upload feature allows sub-accounts to upload their own Buy Rates for a specific provider.

By default, this feature is turned off and must be activated by the Parent account.

  1. When activated: Sub-accounts (Level 2) associated with the provider can upload their own Buy Rates.
  2. When not activated: Sub-accounts can only view Buy Rates provided by their Parent account (Level 1) and cannot upload their own rates. This is further explained under Parent Account Rates (Buy Rates).

The self-upload feature is limted to:

  • The Self-Upload feature is available only to authorized users.
  • Only a Parent account can activate this feature for its sub-accounts.
  • The sub-account can upload Buy Rates for the provider allocated to it (when Self-Upload privileges are activated). The feature is restricted to second-level sub-accounts (Level 2). Parent accounts (Level 1) cannot use this feature for themselves or for third-level sub-accounts.

NOTE: Without this feature activated, the sub-account can only view Buy Rates provided by its Parent account and not use its own Buy Rates. This functionality is described in View Parent Rates
