The Macro Function component allows you to
use an existing pricing macro to calculate a final amount. Because a pricing
macro cannot be inserted in a decision tree, you must use a Macro Function:
To select a pricing macro
To provide values to the pricing macro
The Macro Function uses the properties of the plan to provide the values to the pricing macro.
You use the Macro Function to integrate an existing pricing macro at the end of a decision tree branch. The amount calculated in the pricing macro is the final amount of the branch.
In a chargeable item package called “Communication”, you charge the customer according to the type of communication. The pricing rule is described in a unique Pricing Macro that completely calculates the final price. You can use the Macro Function component to integrate this Pricing Macro into each price plan that relates to the “Communication” chargeable item package.
