allows you to create new properties that can be used when designing the price plan, the charging plan, the refill logic, or the allowance logic.A tier table is a table of correspondence for mapping an input column containing value ranges to a set of output columns containing string or number values. To compute final values, you can apply some combinatorial rules to output columns.
A tier table is included in the pricing catalog of the service provider and is part of its master data.

Recommendation When you base the convergent charging services on provider contracts, SAP recommends that you use range tables and subscriber range tables to design and configure the pricing logic that includes tiered or scaled pricing. |
A tier table allows you to create new properties that can be used when designing the price plan, the charging plan, the refill logic, or the allowance logic.
A tier table is an n-dimensional table that consists of:
A Group Name column
A Range column
A set of one to five string or number output columns
A set of rows
When creating a tier table, you use:
The Group Name column to create groups of numerical intervals
The Range column to represent the numerical intervals of each group
The output columns to assign number or string values to each interval
|
Note:
|
After you have created a tier table, you can add it to the price plan, the charging plan, or the refill logic. You can use the same tier table more than once in any price plan, charging plan, or refill logic.
|
Important: You cannot redefine a tier table at charge plan or refill plan levels if your global charging services are based on provider contracts. We recommend that you use range tables and subscriber range tables. |
You can modify and save different versions of a tier table.
You can configure the pricing logic with tier tables for different industries. See the examples of tier tables.
