Setting Up Price Lists for Rate Plans (Administrator)


For rate plans, administrators use attribute-based pricing and tier-based pricing to give each variation of the master rate plan a rate. Therefore, administrators need to first set up tier-based pricing and then set up price lists for the products.

To set up tier-based pricing

  1. Navigate to the Pricing Administration screen.
  2. In the More Info form, add a record and complete the necessary fields.
  3. Some fields are described in the following table.

    Field
    Comments
    Class
    Use a class associated with the rate plan and usage products.
    Type
    Select Multiple Attributes.
    Default Starting Adjustment Type
    Tier Based

  4. Click the Attributes view tab.
  5. In the Attributes list, add a record for each attribute that you want to affect the price.
  6. Click the Adjustment Item Generator view tab.
  7. In the Adjustment Item Generator list, select the first attribute.
  8. In the Item Generator list, check all values that you want to affect the pricing.
  9. Repeat Step 6 and Step 7 for all attributes.
  10. Click Generate.
  11. In the Items list, select an attribute combination.
  12. Click the select button in the Tier Price field, and add a record in the Tier Price dialog box for each tier.
  13. NOTE:  The minimum quantity of the first tier must be 1. Tiers must not overlap and there must be no gaps. A maximum quantity is not required for the last tier.

  14. Repeat Step 10 and Step 11 for each attribute combination.
  15. NOTE:  Repeat this procedure until you have created as many tier pricing items as are required.

To set up price lists for the rate plans

  1. Navigate to the Pricing Administration screen.
  2. From the Show drop-down list, select Price List.
  3. Click the More Info view tab.
  4. In the More Info form, add a record for a new price list.
  5. For Type, select PC INHOUSE PRICE LIST or PC COMPETITOR PRICE LIST.
  6. Click the Price List Line Items tab.
  7. In the Price List Items list, add a record for each product (root product and usage subcomponent).
  8. For each subcomponent product, select the appropriate tiered pricing in the Attribute Pricing column.
  9. In the List Price field, select the standing charge as the list price of the root product.
