About price plan components

Note: Read the caution carefully.

 

Each main branch of a price plan in a charge begins with a rate component (usage, recurring, or one-shot) linked to a rate activation method.

To create a decision tree, you do the following:

  1. You must select a rate component.

  2. You add components from other families according to your price 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 toolbars of the Charge and Pricing Macro windows. A component is of the same color as the one of its family. The following table presents the component families available in a price plan:

Family icon

Name of the family

Function of the component family

Location of the component family

 

Rates

Defines the rating type (Usage, Recurring or One-Shot)

Always at the root of the decision tree.
