‘Department Rate’ option is not available in the ‘Assign Rates’ page .

Summary:
Department Rate option will be available in the Assign Rates page only if Departments are assigned to the project. In other words, department must be included Project Team section of the project. Once there are departments available in the Project Team section, individual department rates can be set for these departments.

When a new User is added to a project, only the Project Rate, User Rate and/or Role Rate can be applied to the user but not the Department Rate. So the Department Rate option will not be available when you add a User to the Project Team.
