Topping Up a Balance for an Installed Asset
By creating a top-up request, a user can add currency and usage units (for example, phone minutes) to the balance that is associated with an installed asset. When a user creates a top-up request, the user selects a top-up method, such as Credit Card, Automatic Debit, Complimentary, Voucher, or Promotion. To top up the currency balance for an installed asset, the customer frequently prepays for services with a credit or debit card. In this scenario, the user selects a top-up method of Credit Card or Automatic Debit. The user can select a method of Complimentary, Voucher, or Promotion to top up either the currency balance or the usage unit balance for an installed asset.
