# The standard price list of agency services

So that users can record time, first determine which functions (trades) exist in your Agenturverwaltung and at which hourly rates they are usually billed.\
Don't worry: deviations from the standard price list can be stored later in the customer accounts of individual customers.

Functions are a central element of Agenturverwaltung because they are a prerequisite for many fundamental actions in Agenturverwaltung. They facilitate the creation of estimates and are the basis for time tracking by users of Agenturverwaltung.

For this reason, we recommend configuring the agency price list with the most important functions at the start of using Agenturverwaltung. Subsequent adjustments and expansions are of course possible. You can find out how the agency price list is configured here:

## Different hourly rates in different contexts

The hourly rates stored in the agency price list can be overridden in a customer account (job management > customer account). This allows differing conditions for a customer or a specific customer account to be taken into account.&#x20;

> **Use cases for different price lists**\
> a) Your first customer has been with you for many years and therefore enjoys cheaper conditions. New customers, however, pay different hourly rates.\
> b) You raise your prices at the turn of the year; ongoing projects are completed at the old hourly rates, new projects are billed at the new hourly rates\
> c) Within a customer you maintain two customer accounts: one for the retainer day-to-day business that was agreed at cheaper hourly rates under an annual contract, and the other for project business beyond this quota, which is billed at the usual agency hourly rates.

## Application of functions in time tracking

Functions are also relevant in the context of time tracking, since each time entry is linked to a function.

> **Example**\
> An art director, for example, records 2 h 30 min in the function "Graphic Design" on the job "Adidas Retail - POS Motifs 2021".

## Functions in financial documents

Functions can also be used in financial documents - e.g. estimates - to calculate an item.&#x20;

> Example:\
> An item group "Implementation Landing Page" contains two items\
> 4 h Design (in the function "Art Direction") at 100.00 EUR = 400.00 EUR\
> 6 h Content creation (in the function "Text") at 120.00 EUR = 720.00 EUR

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.dieagenturverwaltung.de/die-agenturverwaltung-en/onboarding/initial-financial-settings/funktionen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
