Allowed Attributes

Defines the attributes that can be used for creating or modifying Usage Service catalogues.

Provisioning Providers

Define the providers that will be available when creating new service catalogues, and a default provider.  If the service is offered by a third party, then its provider and necessary information (e.g., the provisioning ID) will be available directly from the catalogue.

Usage Service Types

Define the product types that can be added to the catalogue and the default type when creating a new catalogue.

Default Rates Per Usage Service Type

Predefined rates based on product type speed up the setup of catalogues.

The rate for each added product type is assigned in the definition and can be modified

Rated: Select for usage services imported to CRM.COM (through the WEB API) whose billing rates are determined by third party systems.  When checked, the 'Base Rate' and 'Tiered Rates' fields in the catalogue will be unavailable.

Apply Additional Discount: Select for 'rated' usage services that additional discount should be applied through CRM.COM

Unit of Measurement: The unit of measurement based on which usage service of the specified product type will be rated. This is a read only field and defined once the UDR type is selected.

Base Rate: The basic charge for the service type, which is applied if tiered rates are not defined or their conditions are not fulfilled.

Tiered Rates

Used to provide discounted rates as long as the conditions are met. Several tiered rates can be specified as long as their conditions do not overlap. Each rate is defined in a different row and applied if the row conditions are met.

Tiered rates consist of:

  • Conditions
    • Usage Method
    • Device
    • Source Category (that will initiate the provisioning)
    • Destination Category (that will receive the provisioning)
    • Usage Start Time (inclusive)
    • Usage End Time (inclusive)
    • Minimum Usage (inclusive)
    • Maximum Usage (inclusive)
  • Rate
