Use It or Lose It Recurring Allowance
Allowances are use-it-or-lose-it by default. Rollover is a future feature not yet supported.
Add a data plan with a recurring service that grants the allowance and a data usage type that consumes it.
Expected Result:
- Data usage records consume the recurring grant linked to the recurring service.
Variants:
- None
Setup:
- Configure one allowance resource in Aria Allegro for the Data plan recurring charge.
- Set up the price plan, rate schedule, and rates in core Aria. Add data recurring and usage services. Mark the plan for advanced pricing and select the “Add Allowance” flag for the recurring service.
- Locate the shell price offers created in Aria Allegro for the same plan or rate schedule.
- For the recurring service price offer, select the RECURRING pricing model, set pro-ration settings, add the ALLOWANCE grant for the corresponding allowance resource, and specify the standard allowance amount.
- For the data usage type, configure the corresponding price offer. When adding rates, include the allowance in the impact.
Each record consumes and updates the remaining allowance. Allowances offset the rate but cannot exceed the rated quantity or applied amount.
