   If you have a project and need to discount the hourly rates, this can be done in Project Profile >> Estimated Work.
   
   # Profile
   * Estimated Work
   * Modules
   * Team
   
   The right column has the discount functionality:
   
   
   When applying the discount the rates will be updated and you will have the option to confirm or deny the discount.
   
   Hourly discounts can be useful in a variety of way. We use them for our Maintenance contracts because we give various discounts for purchasing buckets of hours up front. Discounting the rate is easier than setting up a bunch of different default work type and rate combos for each contract.

   Is there a way to not make the discount distructive of the original book rate? e.g. Take the Discount off in case the client violates the agreement?

   Unfortunately, there is not great way to remove a discount. Intervals will accept a markup/premium by enter a negative discount (like -5%), but that won't get back to the original. Manually editing each rate is probably the best bet.

   Thanks Michael! Manually editing the rate back to normal did the trick.
