Customized charge: parameters

Create or modify a charge plan before setting up and customize a charge in the charge plan. In the right pane of the Charge Plan window, click a charge to view, and then open the Parameters tab.

The Parameters tab allows you:

To redefine or not the parameter of a charge
To link the parameter of a charge to a shared parameter of the charge plan

Note: If the Parameters tab is unavailable (dimmed), this means that no parameter was created at charge level. To open the original charge, click the Definition tab of the charge plan, and then click next to the Charge field.

Parameters tab

Fill in or modify the Parameters tab.

Note: If you have assigned the Multicurrency option to the charge inserted in the charge plan, SAP Convergent Charging adds a Currency type parameter to the table. You can redefine this parameter or link this parameter to a shared parameter of the charge plan.

Name: Displays the name of the charge parameter.

Type: Displays the type of the parameter.

Status: Provides the list of parameter status. Select one of the following status:

Not Redefined: Select this status if you do not want to link the parameter to a shared parameter of the charge plan.
Redefined: Select this status if you want to redefine the parameter of a charge. You can redefine a parameter only if in the charge its visibility is set to External.
Linked: Select this status if you want to link the parameter to a shared parameter of the charge plan.

Value: This field varies depending on the option that you select in the Status field:

State set to Not Redefined: The value of the parameter is the value initially entered in the charge. The value of the parameter can not be changed.
State set to Redefined: Type the new value of the parameter.
State set to Linked: Provides the list of shared parameters having the same type as this parameter. Select the shared parameter that you want to link to your charge parameter. The value of the charge parameter is now the same as that of the shared parameter.
