About allowance logic components

Each main branch of the allowance logic begins with a trigger component (event-based, recurring, or one-shot) linked to an allowance activation method.

To create an allowance tree, you do the following:

  1. You must select a trigger component.

  2. You add components from other families according to your allowance plan requirements.

  3. You end each branch of the tree with a function component.

Component families

In SAP Convergent Charging, logic components are grouped into families according to their functional usage. Each component is represented by a specific icon. In the graphical user interface, these families are represented by a specific color and an icon, and they are visible in the toolbar of the Allowance window. A component is of the same color as the family which it belongs to. The following table presents the component families available in the allowance logic:

Family icon
