In Setup Per Diem Pricing, which field is set to the per diem pricing method?

• A. Payment Mechanism
• B. Type
• C. Component
• D. Rate

Answer: (A)

When configuring per diem pricing, the crucial choice is how the daily payment is calculated—that method is defined by the Payment Mechanism field. This field determines the approach Epic uses to apply the per diem (the daily rate), rather than simply storing the amount or the components of what’s included. The Rate field holds the actual daily amount, while Type and Component describe what kind of per diem and what parts are covered, but they don’t specify the pricing method itself. So the field that sets the per diem pricing method is Payment Mechanism.
