External ID (Optional) Use this field to identify this item in MATRIXX pricing items. An External ID is saved to the pricing configuration file and loaded into the Pricing Database. Set the External ID value to any alphanumeric character that is meaningful to your implementation. An External ID can be used, for example, to relate offers in the MATRIXX system to products in an external pricing plan. It can be used, for example, by the Subscriber Management API to query and purchase product offers and bundle IDs.

Attributes are additional properties attached to pricing items that trigger post-processing operations on event data. Attributes do not influence rating. Attributes offer a way to add information to the message returned to the network used for non-rating purposes such as billing and customer care.

Service Type The service type associated with this product. This service type gets provisioned when an associated product offer is purchased. The service type determines the pricing that can apply. The default is usage.
