Overview

The Discounts Calculation provides appropriate functionality to apply discounts to charges.

Discount Calculation provides appropriate functionality to apply discounts or recalculate discounts in the context of appropriate billing events.  Discount Calculation also considers the results of aggregation and balance management  functions (based on a certain balance, different discounts are applied) in the process of calculating discounts.

Functionality

Discounts Calculation determines charge discounts based on pricing plan; including discounts on recurring, one time, and usage charges. Discounts may be applied at different levels such as cross product, cross location, or cross customer (all customers that are part of a given group plan – some affiliation).  The discounts can be apportioned across multiple events.
