Definition tab

The Definition tab allows you to define the type and currency of the charge and to select the chargeable item classes relevant for the configuration of Usage Rate components.

Type of Charge: Select the charge type, Master or Dependent. A master charge is independent of all other charges while a dependent charge depends on another charge in order to be calculated or triggered.

Note: About currencies.

  • At charge plan level, you can redefine the currency if you assign the Multicurrency option to the charge.

  • The currency cannot be modified once the charge has been created.

Currency Definition: This area allows you to select the currency that you want to associate to the charge.

Chargeable Item Classes: This area displays the chargeable item classes related to the charge. Clicking a chargeable item class opens its window. Do not forget that a chargeable item class is associated to a charge when you add a usage rate to the price plan of the charge. If the chargeable item class belongs to a chargeable item package coming from a version earlier than SAP CC 4.0, the chargeable item class is identified by a two-part name, one of which is in parentheses. For example, the chargeable item class "SMS (E2E_TELCOMOB_CIP)" is part of the chargeable item package "E2E_TELCOMOB_CIP".

Note: Persistent counters can be reused in price plans and charging plans but cannot be modified in the price and charging plans.

Persistent counters: Click to add a row to the table. Click if you want to delete a persistent counter from the table. Fill in the following columns of each row that you add to the table:
