Usage Classes are configured in Setup / Usage Rating / Rate Types / Classes |
...
Below you will find an overview of all panels and tabs on this screen followed by guides walking you through actions you can perform.
Prerequisites
The GeoTree will need to be configured if you intend to use the GeoTree as the rater for the class.
...
The information in this panel reflects the currently selected class. From here you can change the class details (fields will display a red left border if a value is required and purple text if the field is read-only and cannot be modified).
...
Name: a unique name for the class (e.g. 'Data', 'SMS' or more granular if needed)
Rater: indicates how granular the rate deck can be. Rates can be looked up strictly by class or in addition to matching the class the Usage Rate Location (in the GeoTree) can be evaluated to apply a specific rate for a specific location
Unit Type: indicates how usage for the class is measured. Time, Data or Count (count would be appropriate if you are rating by the message/event, e.g. for an sms class). For existing classes this field cannot be edited, the unit type can only be specified when adding a new class
Usage Class Type: an optional setting that allows you to categorize the class for reporting and/or mediation purposes. See the usage class type screen help for more information
Tax Category: allows the service tax category set on a service to be overridden the usage class to be used to tax usage charges instead of using the service tax category set on the service to tax usage (i.e. allows you to apply different taxes to usage charges than the taxes applied to non-usage charges for the same service). This setting will only be applied in environments configured to perform real time taxation. This setting will have no effect if LogiSense Billing is not configured to perform real time taxation or if the service charges in question are not usage based (i.e. are recurring or non-recurring charges related to the usage based service)
