Defining Control Tables for a Nonrefundable Fee

If your membership requires payment of a fee that is not refundable, you can set this up in two ways:

• You can create a special SA type to handle charging the fee. For this SA type, define a start option that causes an adjustment to be levied as part of the start service process. This adjustment contains your fee. You may use this option if the membership is related to multiple types of services and not all services need to be present in order to create the membership.
• You can levy an adjustment on one of the other service agreements that is being started. To do this, you would use a start option to define an adjustment to be levied as part of the start service process. You may use this option if the membership is related to a single service (for example, free pay-per-view movies).

For our example, we will set up the SA for the nonrefundable fee with a separate 'fee' SA type.
