Creation of Charge Conditions 

When you create certain charge conditions you can calculate the charge in different ways. The following settings are available:

Free items: When you create an item charge, enter the number of posting items to be executed free of charge in each balancing period. When the system balances accounts it deducts the number of free items from the item counter and thus charges for fewer items. The number of free items must not exceed the total number of items.

Time period and time unit: When you create a periodic charge, enter the frequency (time period) for the charge. You define the time unit in a separate field.

Example: A charge of 10.00 USD is incurred on a monthly basis (time period of one month). For a balancing period of three months, therefore, a charge of 30.00 USD is levied.

When you create conditions for the calculation of item charges, note the following:

You need to create conditions for item charges as differentiation conditions. Choose the supplied differentiation type Item Counter. The individual differentiation values correspond to the item counters defined in Customizing. The value of each counter is multiplied by the respective charge amount. Any free items (see above) are taken into account.

 Example:

There is an item counter for interest and charge items (free) and an item counter for all other items. These are to be charged at 0.05 USD.

The differentiation type would be Item Counter in this case. Specify a charge amount of 0 for the differentiation value of item counter 1 and a charge amount of 0.05 for the differentiation value of item counter 2.

The same applies to dispatch expenses (differentiation type dispatch expense counter).
