About Usage-based Pricing RulesAbout Usage-based Pricing RulesYou add usage-based pricing rules for IT assets to a price schedule in the Customer Agreements (SP) application.
When you bill fees for IT assets that you manage on a sales order, you use a meter on the Fees and Charges table window to dentify the IT assets for which you are billing, based on their measured use. Specify the billing criteria and calculation method. Then you apply the price schedule with a matching meter name in the pricing rules to determine the fees to bill to this customer.
When you create 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 for the location that you specify on the sales order. You do not specify a range.
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 use.
To either of these rules, you also can add fixed amounts that you bill at every billing cycle. You see the fixed amount on its own line in the sales order.
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)
