Business Context and Use

A range table class is necessary when you want to model your pricing policy with range tables (or subscriber range tables). You configure this master data related to the service provider with the SAP CC Core Tool user interface.

Product Modeling

Your CRM application or another provisioning system manages master data related to the modeling of commercial products. SAP CC extends this master data with pricing information to dynamically compute price amounts related to the usage of a customer service. This information is stored in a pricing catalog owned by the service provider.

CRM retrieves pricing information stored in SAP CC to combine charge plans in the definition of a commercial product. CRM can maintain or replicate some pricing data stored in SAP CC in a pricing catalog of the service provider: mapping tables and range tables .

Business Partner Management

Your CRM application or another provisioning system manages master data related to the business partners and replicates data in SAP CC by maintaining some subscriber data for end customers of the service provider. Data includes: Subscriber accounts, subscriber mapping tables, subscriber range tables.
