Business Context and Use
This process component provides operations to implement the recharging step in the rerating scenario.
The recharging step consists in locking, restoring, and unlocking charging contracts in order to recharge the related chargeable items.
Note
Charging contract collections are used as parameters in some operations of this process component.
A charging contract collection identifies a subset of charging contracts
associated to a
subscriber account:
The same charging contract cannot be specified more than once inside a charging contract collection.
If an error occurs while processing a charging contract of the collection,
no charging contract of the collection is modified.
Note
This process component is used in the implementation of the rerating scenario with SAP ERP.
Note
You can perform the recharging step of the rerating scenario only if the impacted charging contracts have an
operational status set to active. Otherwise, the charging contracts cannot be locked and restored.
Rerating Scenario
A correction step precedes the recharging step of the rerating scenario. This step performs corrections when errors leading to the computation of wrong prices are identified. For example, such errors are related to the pricing logic, the properties of chargeable items, and so on.
The recharging step of the rerating scenario consists in sending again chargeable items which were previously charged so that SAP Convergent Charging computes the correct prices after the correction step.
You can implement the following customizing sequence of operations for the recharging step if you want to provide rerating services in your system landscape:
- Find the charging contracts which must be recharged together
- Lock the related charging contracts
- Find information on the feasibility of the recharging for a charging contract at a given date
- Prepare the execution of the recharging process
- Search the restoration points for the related charging contracts
- Restore the related charging contracts at a date corresponding to one of their restoration points
- Recharge the related chargeable items
- Unlock the related charging contracts
The recharging step may be followed by:
- An activation step, in order to trigger again recurring charges which have been undone during the recharging step. See the Activate charging contracts in bulk operation.
- A re-invoicing step in the connected billing system
