About Pricing and Rating

MATRIXX Pricing and Rating provides an introduction to MATRIXX pricing and rating functionality and describes how to define the catalog components necessary for rating and policy selection. It also provides an overview of the MATRIXX rating process and an introduction to My MATRIXX, a web-based user interface application you use to create and manage product catalogs.

Before you read MATRIXX Pricing and Rating, read MATRIXX Subscriber Management for an overview of balance and subscriber management.
