Setting up the generation of a spending status

Setting up the generation of a spending status means determining the shared counters (information source) to be exposed in spending status reports as the form of spending statuses. At least a charge plan (or a refill plan) must share a counter and must be activated in the same provider contract as the activated monitoring plan. You set up the target spending statuses, the source counters, and the logic that defines how the SAP CC system converts a label value (for spending statuses) from a counter value.

Prerequisites

You must set up a monitoring plan before setting up a the generation of one or several spending statuses. A Monitoring Plan window must be open.

The following configuration must be available:

• A spending status description in the SAP CC system

• A range table and its class to define the conversion logic between monitored counters and reported spending statuses
