About Usage-based Pricing RulesAbout Usage-based Pricing RulesYou add pricing rules for IT assets to a price schedule in the Customer Agreements (SP) application. You can create several types of pricing rules, including those based on count, performance, and usage.
Use sales orders to bill fees for IT assets that you manage. On the sales order, identify the IT assets for which you are billing. Specify the billing criteria and calculation method. Then you apply the pricing rules of the price schedule to determine the fees to bill to this customer.
Create usage-based pricing rules on the Asset Usage subtab of the IT Asset subtab of the Pricing Rules subtab. The Pricing rules subtab is on the Price Schedules tab of the Customer Agreements (SP) application.
When creating usage-based pricing rules for IT assets, you specify the meter name by which you measure and price performance. For each meter name, you can create two types of billing rules:
a rule that bills a unit price by usage at a location you specify on the sales order
a rule that bills a unit price when the total usage at all locations falls into a range that you define on the billing rule. You create different unit prices for different ranges of total assets that you manage.
To either of these rules, you also can add fixed amounts that you bill at every billing cycle.
If the pricing rule is applied, the line price on the sales order is calculated as follows:
(unit price on pricing rule x meter reading (usage) on sales order) + fixed price
