Quantity in Ramp Interval Metrics - Example
This example illustrates the calculation of quantity metrics in ramp interval metrics for a subscription with multiple ramp intervals and amendments.
See the following example:
Example Subscription
Suppose your customer has a 3-year termed subscription from 2021/01/01 to 2023/12/31. A Ramp with three Ramp Intervals is configured for this subscription with each year being a Ramp Interval. The subscription is created by Order 1 with one monthly recurring regular charge of the Per Unit charge model. The list price is $10/month for each product and the quantity for this regular charge is:
-
5 for the time period: 2021/1/1 to 2022/6/30
-
10 for the time period: 2022/7/1 to 2023/12/31.
Then the subscription is amended by Order 2 with the quantity being updated to 20 from 2023/1/1 to the term end.
The following example shows the Quantity metrics calculation for Subscription Version 1 created by Order 1 and Subscription Version 2 created by Order 2.
Step 1 - Calculate the Quantity for each charge segment in the subscription. The Quantity metrics for both subscription versions are shown in the diagram below:
Step 2 - Map the Quantity of each charge segment to Ramp Intervals.
Subscription Version 1:
|
Interval |
Charge Segment |
Start Date |
End Date |
Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Charge segment 1 spans over Interval 1 and Interval 2. |
Charge Segment 1 |
2021/1/1 |
2022/6/30 |
5 |
|
Charge segment 2 spans over Interval 2 and Interval 3. |
Charge Segment 2 |
2022/7/1 |
2023/12/31 |
10 |
Subscription Version 2:
|
Interval |
Charge Segment |
Start Date |
End Date |
Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Charge segment 1 spans over Interval 1 and Interval 2. |
Charge Segment 1 |
2021/1/1 |
2022/6/30 |
5 |
|
Interval 2 |
Charge Segment 2 |
2022/7/1 |
2022/12/31 |
10 |
|
Interval 3 |
Charge Segment 3 |
2023/1/1 |
2023/12/31 |
20 |
Step 3 - Segment the time period that spans over multiple Ramp Intervals and map the sub-periods to Intervals.
The final Quantity metrics in Ramp Interval Metrics in Order 1 for Subscription Version 1 is as in the table below:
|
Interval |
Charge Segment |
Start Date |
End Date |
Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Interval 1 |
Charge Segment 1 |
2021/1/1 |
2021/12/31 |
5 |
|
Interval 2 |
Charge Segment 1 |
2022/1/1 |
2022/6/30 |
5 |
|
Interval 2 |
Charge Segment 2 |
2022/7/1 |
2022/12/31 |
10 |
|
Interval 3 |
Charge Segment 2 |
2023/1/1 |
2023/12/31 |
10 |
The final Quantity metrics in Interval Metrics in Order 2 for Subscription Version 2 is as in the table below:
|
Interval |
Charge Segment |
Start Date |
End Date |
Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Interval 1 |
Charge Segment 1 |
2021/1/1 |
2021/12/31 |
5 |
|
Interval 2 |
Charge Segment 1 |
2022/1/1 |
2022/6/30 |
5 |
|
Interval 2 |
Charge Segment 2 |
2022/7/1 |
2022/12/31 |
10 |
|
Interval 3 |
Charge Segment 3 |
2023/1/1 |
2023/12/31 |
20 |
