Service Credits for Free Movies Memberships
Sample Algorithms. No base package algorithm types are provided to support the logic described in this example.
In this scenario, let's suppose that a customer receives three free pay-per-view movies when signing up for new service. To handle this, perhaps an SA creation algorithm creates the membership and the service credits when the service is started. Or perhaps you want to wait until the first bill is generated and a bill completion algorithm is used to generate the first credit. It depends on your business practice.
For redeeming the free pay-per-view movies, it is assumed that the movies are credited during billing after it is determined that the customer has been billed for a movie. The number of movies used for the membership is reduced until all the free movies are used.
