Volume Rating
Volume rating applies the same tier rate to all usage based on total usage during the billing period. Volume rating is also referred to as two-pass rating or bill-time rating.
Expected Result
The system applies the same tier rate for all usage based on total usage during the billing period.
Variants
- Independent volume rating for each usage type
- Volume rating across usage types in a master plan instance hierarchy
