Additional configurations
Outlines additional configurations for charge models, including on-demand usage rating support and rating option inheritance.
Charge model support
You can only use on-demand usage rating on the following charge models. Other charge models are not supported.
- Per unit
- Tiered pricing
- Volume pricing
Note: To use on-demand usage rating on the volume pricing charge model, you must enable the Active Rating feature.
Rating option inheritance
When adding a per-unit usage charge to a subscription, the Usage Records Rating Option will inherit the setting from the product catalog charge and cannot be updated to use a different usage rating setting. This means you cannot:
- Select a different usage rating option (than the one set in the product catalog) when adding the usage charge to a subscription.
- You cannot update an existing charge to change the rating option.
Changing rating option
If you want to modify the rating option of a per-unit usage charge from End of Billing Period to On Demand , you need to do the following:
- In the existing subscription, create two amendments to remove the current usage charge and add the new usage charge (with the on-demand usage rating option).
- When adding the new usage charge, ensure that the per-unit usage charge in your product catalog is set to on-demand rating.
