Each publisher client is linked to a product grouping using the Title hierarchy and classification or a selected title. Since many publisher clients may be charged based on the same criteria, common charging tables can be used. Publisher clients can have multiple definitions, however they should be setup with exceptions first, then the general rule. TMSPS/CCTBL Charge and Cost Table, contains the Table code and indicates whether the table is a charge type or a cost type and which Source of Transaction and Type of Sale are applicable to the table.
