Setting Up Products for Rate Plans

To set up products, administrators must first set up classes to be associated with the products. For rate plans, classes describe the type of service, such as Electricity or Standard Electric Services.

As part of defining classes, administrators create attributes, such as Meter Type, that get inherited by the products associated with that class. They also define the list of values available to the end user for each attribute of the class. After that, administrators create and define the root products that belong to the new class. To the root product, they add subcomponents, which are the usage products. For more information about classes and products, see Siebel Product Administration Guide and Siebel Order Management Guide Addendum for Communications.
