System behaviour when 1 charge plan contains mutiple charges having usage price plan

[prateekgarg777]

Hello,

While studying SAP CC, I got a question that if suppose we have a charge plan and inside charge plan we have 3 charges - Charge A, Charge B and Charge C. All three charges have usage price plan. There is no dependent scenario nor any parameter which might prohibit any charge to run completely. In this case, how will system know which charge to pick, or will it run all the three charges ?

Example of usage charge

Example of Charge Plan structure.

So in this case, will system generate 3 CITs, or select the 1st or last one and will execute that, or will combine results of all and create 1 CIT ?

In addition to what Ciaran clearly explained I would add that the combination of the Service Identifier and User Technical Identifier must be unique so that the right charge is triggered and the correct decision tree leaf is executed. Talking for usage rating a simple concrete example would be in a Telco, where the phone number is unique ex. 123456789, but a customer has three different Service Identifiers, for mobile calls, SMS, and DATA.

• CALL - 123456789
• SMS - 123456789
• DATA - 123456789

You can build this with different charges or within a single charge depending on your solution. Hope it helps

In the Technical Data tab of the charge assigned within a charge plan you configure Service Identifier/User Technical Identifier pairs. Each must be unique. The charge that is chosen depends on the values in the incoming chargeable item. Best way is to test if for yourself.

A BIT and possibly a CIT (depending on configuration) is created when a function component (except for free and no access) is executed on the leaf of a decision tree within a charge. Normally zero or one BITs get created per charge, but allowances consumed by the charge can also create BITs.
