Editing the Item Charge Group Box

In the Item Charge group box on the Calculation tab page, you edit the fields for a condition that belong to 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.

You can define the item charge as a simple charge or as multiple charge amounts in tiers. Without condition determination you can define an item limit for each tier that refers to the counter status. You use condition determination to define an amount limit and an item limit for each tier. The system determines the reference value of the amount limits from the settings on the Condition Determination tab page, for example, the period of use, the determination period, and the turnover class.

Depending on the settings you make, very different and complex screens are available in certain fields when you edit item charges

Note Note

The dependencies of these fields are displayed in a decision table in the documentation for the amount category 115020 Item Charges

End of the note.

A condition type with the amount category 115020 (Item Charge) must have the item counter differentiation category.

Procedure

You can make the following settings:

Edit Basic Data for the Calculation of Charges

In the Condition Form field, you can enter the use for the condition.
Use the Rounding Category and Rounding Unit fields to control how the system rounds the resulting amounts for the item charge.
The system first includes the minimum or maximum amounts and then rounds the resulting amount.

For more information, see Rounding Numerical Values.
To add amounts such as dispatch charges instead of numbers of items, select the Amount Counter checkbox.
If you select the Amount Counter checkbox, you cannot make any entries in the Amount and Tiers/Interval fields.
In the Free Items field, you can enter a particular number of items for which the system does not calculate a charge in a billing period.
In the Max. No. of Items field, you can enter the maximum number of items that the system is to calculate for a billing period.
The system first takes all free items into account. The system applies the maximum number of items to the remaining number of items.
You can enter a payment currency that differs from the condition currency.
When you enter a payment currency, you can enter a fixed exchange rate that is used for the validity period of the condition.

For more information about the dependencies of currencies in conditions, see Currencies in Conditions.
