Usage Concepts

Usage Concepts
  • Add Bulk Usage On-Demand
    Aria's Add Bulk Usage functionality allows you to upload a .csv file containing multiple usage records on-demand.
  • Create a Usage Type
    A usage type is a category of a usage-based service available for an account holder to consume. You must associate all usage-based services in your product catalog with a usage type.
  • Discard Usage
    You cannot delete usage records. Aria enforces this restriction to retain information for auditing. However, you can discard usage records.
  • Include Usage Billing on the First Invoice
    If you load usage records into Aria before the generating a customer's first invoice and want Aria to bill that usage on the first invoice, you must set Include Usage Charges on First Invoice to True.
  • Rate Usage Per-Record
    Usage rating per record allows you to rate usage based on each individual usage record rather than at the aggregated level.
  • Usage High-Water Mark
    You can set a High-Water Mark indicator for a usage-based service indicating that Aria should base charges on the highest number of incremental usage units consumed, rather than on total usage.
