Viewing Balance Groups for a Billing Profile

In a billing profile, end users can view balance groups. A balance group is a collection of resources associated with one or more services within a bundle of services for an account. Examples of resources include:

• 1000 free minutes applicable to all the phone lines in a family plan.
• 1 frequent flyer mile for each minute of time on any phone line in a family plan.
• 3 MB of data to download at no charge.
• 100 Short Message Services (SMS) applicable to wireless and wire line services.

A balance group can have a single currency balance and multiple non-currency balances (for example, the balance of unused phone minutes). Though customers are generally not aware of balance groups in a bundle, they understand how resources are applicable to the services within a bundle. For more information about balance groups, see Process Integration for Order Management Implementation Guide.
