Billing
Tariffing Features
Selcomm views Tariffs as the application of charges to the transaction details for which Service Providers charge their Customers. Tariffs, within themselves, can consist of a complex variety of charging at the retail level from the categorisation of the transaction through to the addition of fixed and periodic charges.
Packages can exist within a hierarchy, which in turn can have business rules set to ensure that package changes are bound by the terms of the Customer contract. For example, the subscriber may sign on to a contract period and rate plan that inherently includes the leasing of a hardware item, the service provider may allow that subscriber to change to a higher value package or down according to changes within the Customer’s needs. However, Selcomm will ensure that package changes will not drop below the value of the original package for the term of the contract. This type of requirement is highly applicable to the mobile sector sector for example.
