Specify the scope for discount charges to be applied

Learn how to specify the scope for applying discount charges by selecting the appropriate level and types of charges.

To specify the scope for a discount charge to be applied, complete the following steps when creating the discount charge:

  1. From the Apply Discount To list, select one of the following levels at which you want to apply the discount. By default, The All charges in the rate plan option is selected.
    • All charges in the rate plan

    • All charges in the subscription

    • All charges in the account

  2. Select the types of charges that you want to apply the discount to. For example, if you want to apply the discount charge only to the one-time charges, select the One-Time checkbox, and clear the Recurring and Usage checkboxes. By default, the three checkboxes are all selected.
    • If you select All charges in the rate plan , in the Include the following product charges area, select specific regular charges from the current product rate plan. By default, no charges are selected in the area, which indicates that the discount charge applies to all charges in the product rate plan. If enhanced PPDD is enabled and the discount charge will be applied to a prepayment or drawdown usage charge, select the specific product rate plan charges to which the discount applies. Do not rely on the default selection for these charges. After you select specific charges, the discount will be applied only to those charges rather than all charges in the rate plan.
