Editing Simple Charges
Thís procedure describes how you specify a simple charge. A simple charge consists of only one condition item and does not have tiers or intervals.
You also use the settings on the Condition Determination
tab page. The period of used is of particular importance in the calculation of charges. For example, you use it to determine that charge calculation takes place with a monthly period of use. The system calculates charges three times if you have quarterly settlement periods.
Prerequisites
You have made all necessary settings so that the fields for creating a simple charge are available.
For more information about the required settings, see the decision table in the documentation for each amount category that is relevant for the charge.
The system displays condition editing on the
Calculation
tab page.
Procedure
You can make the following settings:
In the
Tiers/Interval
field, enter the value No Tiered or Interval Calculation.If you use condition determination, enter the value No Tiers for Condition Determination in the
Tiers for Condition Determination
field.Enter the amount that you want to charge per item.
If you define the condition as a markup condition, you can enter an amount with a divisor for an absolute markup and a percentage rate for a relative markup. For more information, see Markup Condition.
You use the divisor to map the amount as a part of the smallest currency unit.
ExampleYou want to levy a charge of 1/10 cent per item. You cannot enter this value directly. You can map this case by entering 0.01 in the
Amount
filed and 10 in theDivisor
field. The system calculates with 1/10 cent per item.End of the example.You can enter a minimum amount.
If the resulting charge amount is smaller than the minimum amount, the system charges the minimum amount to the customer. Similarly, you can restrict the resulting charge amount to a maximum amount.
Result
You have defined a simple charge.
