Fixed Fee Plans

These are plans that have no variable component to them. Hence can be anything from a License Fee, Support Plan to a One Time Payment. Combined with contracts, they can be charged to the customer at different frequencies.

• Display Name: The name of the plan (this can be customer specific such as - Customer XX One Time Payment or generic - Enterprise Customer Platform Fee)
• Amount/period: The amount of the fee per period (Ex. $100 / month)

Usage Based Plans

These are plans that are tied with usage of a product. Usage Based Plans are linked to products via Product Contracts.

• PricingType :

  • FLAT : The single price irrespective of usage
  • STEPPED: Charged the price at the target volume
  • RAMPED: Charged the price through tiers for qualifying tiers

• Tiers: | Min. Quantity | Max. Quantity | Rate |

• Accumulation Period: The duration of time over which usage needs to be totaled before the rate is calculated.

Example:

Min. Quantity	Max. Quantity	Rate
0	100	100
101	200	90
201	300	80
301	inf.	70

Scenario 1: Quantity 500, STEPPED = 500 * 70 = $35000
Scenario 2: Quantity 500, RAMPED = 100 * 100 + 100 * 90 + 100 * 80 + 200 * 70 = $41000
