Prospective Tier Pricing
Prospective tiers are rolling tiers based on past volume. For example, for a quarterly rolling tier, Q1 quarter usage decides the fixed tier that applies for Q2 quarter, Q2 quarter usage decides the fixed tier that applies for Q3 quarter and so on. Rolling tiers can be setup with 'n' units of days, weeks, months, quarters, years. For example, 2025 usage accumulation decides the fixed tier price for 2026, 2026 usage accumulation decides the fixed tier price for 2027 and so on. See the Pricing Models section for details on Prospective Tiers.
Expected Result:
- Apply a fixed tier pricing during the pricing term based on the usage accumulated during the evaluation term where the term is 1-month.
Variants:
- Apply a fixed tier pricing during the pricing term based on the usage accumulated during the evaluation term where the term is ‘n' months, ‘n’ quarters or 'n’ years.
Setup:
- Pre-configure accumulator resources in Aria Allegro for tier configurations. For independent tiers by usage type, set independent accumulators; otherwise, use a common accumulator for all usage types. Configure accumulators based on the total quantity or amount of the usage record.
- Set up the plan, plan rate schedule, and plan services as required in core Aria.
- Set the Price-offer in Aria Allegro for tier pricing. Select the Pricing Model as TIERED, Tier reference as BALANCE in the tiered section, select the accumulator for Balance Reference, and Tier Type as PROSPECTIVE. Refer to the documentation for other Evaluation term and Pricing term attributes. Set the tiers, currency, accumulator, and allowance impacts for each tier. Ensure the accumulator used in the reference is also impacted by the tier rates for subsequent usage.
- The rest of the setup and process remain unchanged.
