Converts this record to read-only status.

Selecting this check box also makes the fields described in Pricing Subview read-only.

Pricing Subview

The Pricing subview defines the price structure of each product in the selected use plan. Enter a record for each range of measurement. The Pricing subview allows tiered pricing; for example:

0-100

$0.25

101-500

$0.30

501-1,000

$0.35

Over 1,000

$0.40

Table 50 describes the items on the Pricing view.

Lowest value of a measurement for this pricing record.

Rollback

Provides discounted pricing for higher usage. Selecting Rollback on a specific tier causes the record's price to override the prices for all lower tiers. A Rollback flag set for the tier labelled Over 1,000 would result in all miles billed at the rate of $0.40 per mile, if the usage reaches this tier during the specified time period. For more information, see Pricing Subview.

Units

Provides the following selections:

  • Per Count. Charges the amount specified in the Amount field for each unit of measure; for example, $0.50 per mile.
  • Total. Charges the amount specified in the Amount field for the total measurement interval (From and To fields); for example, $15 for 0 to 100 miles (100 miles total).

NOTE:  To set up aggregate rather than tiered pricing, choose Absolute for the Use Plan Bill Method field. This setting supplies a cumulative reading, starting from the beginning of the plan. For more information, see Product Measurements View.
