Editing Charges for Tiers or Complex Tiers in Condition Determination

This procedure describes how you define charges for tiers or complex tiers in condition determination.

You use these tiered conditions to automatically adjust charges according to the actual scope of business of the customer relationship. You can scale charges such as item charges according to turnovers such as incoming payments, and based on a counter reading. To do so, use the settings on the Condition Determination tab page, for example, period of use, determination period, or turnover class. There, you can define the calculation basis for condition determination.

You can assign the tiers to amount limits: For tiers in condition determination at lower limits (including and above this limit), for complex tiers for condition determination at upper limits (up to and including this limit), or lower levels. You can also assign the tiers to item limits, thus specifying the number of items above which an amount is to be used.

You can use the complex tiers for condition determination as follows:

For the tiers in condition determination, the system uses the settings on the Condition Determination tab page, amount limits, and item limits to determine a tier condition for each application period. The amount limits of the tier refer to the settings on the Condition Determination tab page. The item limits refer to the counter reading.
The tier condition valid for settlement is applied to the counter reading.
In the tiers for condition determination, the system determines a defined tier for each period of used based on the settings you have made on the Condition Determination tab page and on the amount limits. The amount limits of the tier refer to the settings on the Condition Determination tab page.
Intervals, tiers or a combination of both are defined in this tier. The amount limits for this tier or interval refer to calculation basis defined in the condition type. You can also scale the tiers and intervals according to item limits.

The tier condition valid for settlement is applied to the counter reading.
