Shared Allowance in a Plan Instance Hierarchy
Allowance sharing works within a master plan instance hierarchy, where Aria Allegro creates a unique subscription unit and balance group. Sharing applies across any number of add-on or supplemental plans under a master plan instance at any depth supported by core Aria.
This use case assumes a recurring service in the master plan grants an allowance shared across usage types.
Expected Result
Usage records for usage types with the configured allowance share the same allowance and offset the charge.
Variants
- The recurring charge that grants a shared allowance is associated with an add-on or supplemental plan.
Setup
- Configure one allowance resource in Aria Allegro for the master plan recurring charge.
- Set up the price plan, rate schedule, and rates in core Aria. Mark the plan for advanced pricing and enable 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 proration, add the allowance impact for the corresponding allowance resource, and specify the standard allowance amount.
- For each usage type that shares the allowance, configure the corresponding price offer. When adding rates, include the allowance in the impact.
Note: Each usage record consumes and updates the remaining allowance. Allowances offset the rate but cannot exceed the rated quantity or applied amount.
