Step 1: Setting up Usage Service Catalogs Definitions

...

  • The Provisioning Provider that will be responsible for the provisioning Usage Services defined in the specific Usage Service Catalog.
  • The period for which the Catalog will be valid. Multiple periods or always valid can be defined.
  • All the Usage Services that should be provided (the services created in the Products module).
    For each Service, define the following:
    • Base Rate: The price of the Service for Billing.
    • Provisioning ID: The CA ID required by the Provisioning Provider to identify each Service.
    • Start and End Time: the periods for which the Service should be available for ordering.
    • Tiered Rates: You have the option to provide conditional rates which are different than the specified Base Rate. For example, provide a different rate for the Service if it is used during a specific period or provided via specific devices.

      Note

      Usage Detail Record configuration modules must be configured to define related conditions for the Tiered Rates.

  • Define conditions related to Subscriptions or Accounts Receivable which will determine whether the Usage Service Catalog is available for selection. 
    Usage Service Catalogs will be filtered (when adding a Service on the Subscription) based on the conditions defined in the Usage Service Catalog.

Let's see how you can quickly set up the System to start using Usage Service Catalogs and the UDRs module for OTT business. In our example, we will create a catalog for the three Usage Services that were created in the products example. The three movies which can be provisioned via Nagra Media Live Provider are normally charged €3 and €2 if ordered between 00:01 and 6:59. Every time a movie is ordered it is billed directly.

Tip

No configuration is necessary for the modules, sections and attributes not mentioned below.
