Waterfall Levels

The standard pricing waterfall consists of the following levels:

• Base Price (base_price) - The default system price defined on the charge (PRPC). For recurring or usage charges, this represents the standard unit price or the per-unit price derived from volume or tiered pricing tables. Quantity is not applied at this stage; pricing is evaluated on a per-unit basis.

• Contract / Negotiated / Segment Price (segment_price) - A customer-specific or segment-specific price that overrides the base price, such as a contracted or negotiated price for a customer, pricing for a segment, price group, or geography (for example, State = CA), or prices retrieved from a rate card using attributes like state, ARR, or customer tier. This level typically represents a static price lookup rather than a calculated formula.

• Adjusted Charge Price (adjusted_price) - The price after all dynamic PRPC pricing adjustments have been applied, including attribute-based multipliers (for example, price × factor), formulas, and other dynamic pricing rules. This level represents the completion of Dynamic Pricing calculations for the charge.

• Discounts (discounted_price) - The price after all applicable offers are applied on top of the adjusted price, using a defined order of operations such as offer codes, cross-catalog offers, and session-, account or segment-level discounts.

• Effective Price (effective_price) - The final unit price for the charge after all pricing adjustments, discounts, and any applicable master rules or policy constraints (such as price floors or ceilings) have been applied.

• Extended Price (extended_price) - The final price calculated by multiplying the effective (or adjusted) unit price by quantity, including volume or tiered pricing logic where applicable.
