Use the Pricing Administration Work Area to Price Usage Charges According to Attribute Values

Use the Pricing Administration work area to set up a rule on a rate plan that uses your customer's attributes, the subscription's attributes, or the sales order's attributes to determine the base price for the subscription's usage charge. Before this update, you could only do this through REST API. When you select the Pricing matrix as the Calculation Method, you can select the attribute you want to specify for the columns, and then add the rules to determine the base price.

Use a wide range of attributes from more than one source to determine the base price on your rate plan. Use these attributes when you can't use only the usage quantity to determine the base price.
