Create or modify a charge plan before setting up and customize a charge in the charge plan. In the left pane of the charge plan window, click a charge

Note: A charge in a charge plan represents a customer service of the service provider. If you want to configure the pricing logic for several services with different tax settings, you must customize several charges in your charge plan. |
|
Note: Depending on your SAP CC system configuration, the Tax tab displays the settings for the EU VAT tax system, the flat tax system, or the EZTax system. If the Tax tab is unavailable (dimmed), the SAP CC system is not configured for computing taxes. For more information, refer to your administrator and consult the SAP CC Configuration Guide. |
