Absolute Discount
The Absolute Discount feature allows for applying a discount directly to the rated event of a specific usage type, such as calls to off-net destinations. By configuring the MIN and MAX thresholds, you can specify the range of the rated amount that qualifies for the discount application.
Key features of the Absolute Discount feature include:
-
Direct Discount Application: The discount amount is subtracted directly from the original rated amount, resulting in a reduced billed amount for the customer. This approach simplifies the billing process and accurately reflects the discounted value on the customer’s invoice.
-
Threshold Configuration: By setting the MIN and MAX thresholds, you can define the range of the rated amount that qualifies for the discount. This allows for precise control over when the discount is applied.
-
New Discount Event Option: Alternatively, you can choose to create a new discount event, generating a separate event specifically for the discount amount. This allows for more detailed tracking and reporting of the applied discounts.
-
Usage Type Specific: The discount can be applied to specific usage types, such as calls to off-net destinations, ensuring that the discount is relevant to the customer’s usage patterns.
-
Real Charging: The discount is applicable in real time when the charge is rated and charged. This ensures that the discount is immediately reflected in the billing process, providing instant benefits to the customer.
