• Fixed: Uses fixed house costs for all screens using the contract. Specify the fixed value in House Cost Value and the No. of Sessions required. The fixed house costs override the House Costs set in the Cinema Screens (Film Hire) maintenance form at Head Office.
• Fixed based on Holdover Sheet: Uses House Costs calculated on the basis of the number of planned sessions in the Holdover Sheet, rather than actual session figures.
