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.
