 Group Box Edit Item Charge

Use

In the group box Item Charge , you edit those fields of a condition that are included in Amount Category 115020 Item Charge

In this group category you define a charge that is levied dependent on an item counter (for example, number of transfers). The item counter is defined in the application. For example, it could be updated by payment items.

A condition type with the amount category 115070 (Early Withdrawal Penalty) must have the item counter differentiation category.

Prerequisites

The condition to be edited is based on a condition category that is permitted for the amount category Item Charge . For more information, see Amount Category .

Procedure

You can make the following settings when editing a condition with the amount category 115020 (Item Charge) .

  • You can enter an amount in the Amount field, which is to be levied for each counter. If the resultant charge is less than the minimum amount, then the customer is billed with the amount entered in the minimum amount field. Similarly, you can restrict the charge per counter using a maximum amount.

  • You can use the divisor field to represent the amount as part of the smallest currency unit.

    Example Example

    If you want to levy a charge amount of 1/10 cent per item as item charge, it is not possible to enter this value directly.

    It is possible to depict this case by entering 0.01 in the amount field, and 10 in the divisor field. The system then charges the item with 1/10 cent.

    End of the example.
  • You can set the amount counter indicator if you want to add and post amounts, such as postage costs, rather than the number of units. The external counter amounts must be transferred from the application. If you set the indicator, then you cannot make an entry in the Amount field.

  • In the free items field, you can define a specific number of free items for which no charges are levied during a billing period.

  • In the field Maximum Number of Items , you enter the maximum number of items for which charges are applicable in a billing period. The system first takes all free items into account. The system uses Maximum Number of Items on the remaining items.

  • You can enter a payment currency that differs from the condition currency, which is then valid for all amount fields of the charge condition if no condition currency exists. If both currencies exist, then the condition currency is valid.

  • You can define tiered- or interval calculation if you have not set the amount counter indicator. A tier or interval starts after the defined number of items. For each tier or interval, you can enter an amount , as well as a minimum amount , maximum amount , and divisor .

  • If the condition is a markup condition, you can also use a tiered or interval calculation. For absolute markup, the Amount and Divisor field is available, the Percentage field is available for relative markup. For more information, see Markup Condition .

  • You can define tiers for condition determination if it is not a markup condition. For more information, see Editing the Condition Determination Tab Page .

Result

You have defined an item charge.
