Business Context and Use
A mapping table is a table of correspondence between an input set of values and a set of output values according to different periods of
time. You can easily maintain each row individually. A mapping table can be attached to:
Mapping tables attached to a subscriber account are named
subscriber mapping tables.
The structure of a mapping table is specified by a mapping table class from the pricing catalog of the service provider.
Mapping tables attached to a catalog can be used for several end customers of the service provider. Subscriber mapping tables contain customer specific data and can be shared by the charging contracts related to the same subscriber account.
Product Modeling
Your CRM application or another provisioning system manages master data related to the modeling of commercial products. SAP CC extends this master data with pricing information to dynamically compute price amounts related to the usage of a customer service. This information is stored in a pricing catalog owned by the service provider.
CRM retrieves pricing information stored in SAP CC to combine charge plans in the definition of a commercial product. CRM can maintain or replicate some pricing data stored in SAP CC in a pricing catalog of the service provider: mapping tables and range tables .
