Subscription Activity
The Subscription Activity section tracks non-usage transactions in Aria Allegro, including activation and recurring charges for allowances and accumulators, and minimum commitment true-ups. These are referred to as monetized subscription charges.
Types of Subscription Activity Records
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| One-time | Created for activation services at the time of plan purchase. |
| Forward-recurring | Created for recurring charges applied at the start of a billing cycle, at a configured frequency (days, weeks, months, quarters, or years). |
| Arrears-recurring | Created for recurring charges applied at the end of a billing cycle, at a configured frequency. |
| True-up | Created when actual usage falls below the minimum commitment value. The true-up amount is sent to core Aria as an order. |

View a Subscription Activity Record
- Navigate to Monetized Subscription Charges as described above.
- Click the ID link for a charge record to open the detail drawer.
The drawer displays the following sections:
- Header Attributes—key attributes displayed at the top of the drawer.
- Recurring Data—applies to forward-recurring and arrears-recurring transactions. Minimized by default. Key attributes include:
- Cycle Start and End Date/Time—the billing cycle covered by the charge.
- Applied Start and End Date/Time—the subset of the cycle during which the charge applies (for example, for a mid-cycle purchase or cancellation).
- Scale—the proration scale applied to the recurring charge. The scale equals the ratio of the applied period to the full cycle period, adjusted by the proration setting (No Charge = 0, Full Charge = 1, Prorate = calculated value).
- Cycle Unit and Duration—the frequency of the recurring charge (for example, monthly = cycle unit MONTHS, duration 1).
- Proration—the proration setting used for scale calculation.
- Allowance—displayed only when an allowance is granted for activation or recurring service. Maximized by default.
- Accumulators—displayed only when one or more accumulators are added for the charge. Minimized by default.
