What are UDR Types?

Usage Detail Record Types are used to classify and group UDRs based on their business application. Users must select UDR Types when adding new Usage Services to a Subscription using the Add Service Usage Action. UDR Types can be used to define restrictions, such as mandatory UDR information for each Type. For example, if the UDR Source Category is defined as 'mandatory' on the Type, the user must provide a Source Category defined as 'Allowed' in the Type when ordering the Usage Service.

UDR Types can also be used as conditions for Tiered Rates in Usage Service Catalogs or Additive Discounts.
