For adding a rate component

You can add one or more rate components to the rating tree.

The rate branch is a mandatory base for your price plan. You cannot create a price plan without a rate branch that contains at least one of the following rate components: Usage Rate, Recurring Rate or One-Shot Rate.

To add and set up a rate component

  1. In the rating tree, click the price plan icon .

  2. On the Components toolbar, move the pointer over Rates, and then click one of the following rate components: Usage Rate, Recurring Rate or One-Shot Rate.

  3. In the Name field of the right pane, type the name of the rate component.

  4. In the Description field of the right pane, describe the function of the rate component if necessary.

  5. Set up the rate component (*).

(*): For more information about setting up rate components, refer to the Help system relating to components: Click Components on the Help menu of the main window.

 

Note: When a price plan contains several rate branches such as Usage Rates, Recurring Rates, and One-Shot Rates, the rate branches are automatically arranged in this order in the rating tree:

  • Usage Rates

  • One-Shot Rates

  • Recurring Rates

For example, if you add a new usage rate to the rating tree, it is automatically added after the last usage rate branch.
