A Calculation Rule with a Discount for Being on Autopay

Imagine a calculation rule that is only eligible if the current customer has signed up for Autopay. This calculation rule would need the following eligibility rule:

Customer has Autopay

This rule will look as follows:


Seq	Field to Compare	Comparison Method	If TRUE	If FALSE	If Insufficient Data
10	Algorithm: check if customer has Autopay	= Y	Apply Rule	Do Not Apply Rule	Do Not Apply Rule

The criterion calls an algorithm that performs a logical comparison.

The criterion works as follows:

Field to Compare. We chose a "field to compare" algorithm that checks if the account associated with the bill segment is on Autopay. If an autopay setup exists, then it returns a value of Y. If not, however, it returns N
Comparison Method and Results. We simply compare the value returned by the algorithm to Y and indicate the appropriate response. If the condition is true, the calculation rule is applied. If the condition is false or insufficient data, the calculation rule is skipped.
