What is the trigger or key fields to create Prepaid or Postpaid Subscriber Account?

[former_member701729]

Hi CC Expert,

Good day! We are currently working in a project where SAP CI is integrated in SAP CC. I'd like to know what is the key field or any other factor to trigger whether the BP created in CI will be replicated as prepaid or postpaid subscriber account in CC.

Subscriber Account:

Regards,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

I would also suggest that you consult the integration guide corresponding to your BRIM deployment available here: Billing and Revenue Innovation Management on SAP Help Portal | Discover.

Basically:

• a business partner in ERP or S/4HANA is replicated as a subscriber account in CC
• a contract account in ERP or S/4HANA is replicated as an external account of a subscriber account in CC
• a prepaid account in ERP or S/4HANA is replicated as a prepaid account of a subscriber account in CC

Best regards.
Sébastien

Hi Stephen,

I'm not sure this will fully answer your question but, from CC's point of view, "prepaid" and "postpaid" accounts are two distinct types of objects.
So, when the provisioning client (SAP CRM, SAP SOM or any other SOAP client) needs to create either a prepaid or postpaid account, it has to do so by explicitly sending the corresponding SOAP query: either "prepaidAccountMaintainRequest" or "postpaidAccountMaintainRequest".
That's from CC's standpoint.

On the other hand, on the client side, I don't know precisely how you can specify the type of account you need. To get an answer about that, can you please modify your question's metadata, and add a tag for "Convergent Invoicing", so that the CI experts can chime in too?

Best regards.
