Charging Configuration
Charging Configuration has the interfaces you use to create and manage balance, pricing, product offer and bundle, general, and application-related components.
Offer and Bundle Configuration
Offer and Bundle Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage pricing and rating components including bundles, offer priority generators, product offers, and product service types and attributes.
Bundles
Bundles group one or more product offers together so they can be purchased as a unit. You can also create bundle-specific charges, grants, and discounts that override or supplement the existing pricing components defined in individual product offers. A Pricing User creates bundles and configures the template fields that a Pricing User is allowed to change to make bundles available as catalog items.
Create or Change a Bundle Revision
A new revision of a bundle creates a new copy of a selected revision or version. The operation does not create a new pricing file in the pricing plan.
Compare Bundle Revisions
Use the Edit Bundle Revision interface to compare bundles. You can view the differences between the current version of an object and the original object or the latest pricing repository version. This information is view-only and cannot be saved. However, you can save attribute changes, additions, and deletions in the original view or the comparison view by clicking Save. The comparison feature is supported for all tabs in this interface.

My MATRIXX Help
- About My MATRIXX Help
  My MATRIXX Help provides information about My MATRIXX, a web application that offers a central location for creating pricing plans and configuring MATRIXX charging and rating behaviors. My MATRIXX is intended for pricing administrators who are responsible for creating and maintaining pricing plans and for IT administrators or developers who configure the rating and charging behavior of the online charging system.
- Introducing My MATRIXX
  The following information describes the My MATRIXX interface.
- Using My MATRIXX
  You use My MATRIXX to validate and compile the pricing configuration file, compile pricing, and set up and manage user roles and domains; create and manage catalog items and catalogs, manage eligibility features and rules, and manage the Normalizers interface; create and manage balances, pricing, offers and bundles, general components, and application-related components; and policies for charging and rating. Use General Configuration to create components that support pricing items and charging functionality such as announcements pricing components, attribute definitions, denial codes, products, decision tables, Final Unit Indication (FUI) profiles and generators, general ledger transaction types, notification profiles, normalizer templates, and subscriber information query actions, profiles, and generators.
- Home Menu
  The following information describes the tasks that can be performed using the My MATRIXX Home menu.
- Catalog Configuration
  Catalog Configuration contains the Catalog Items interface that you use to create, change, or delete catalog items; the Eligibility interface to manage eligibility features and rules to determine whether a subscriber, group, or device is eligible for a catalog item; and the Normalizers interface you use to edit normalizers.
- Charging Configuration
  Charging Configuration has the interfaces you use to create and manage balance, pricing, product offer and bundle, general, and application-related components.
  - Balance Configuration
    Balance Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage price components including aggregation selectors, balances and balance classes, balance state update profiles and components, meters, and rollover profiles and components.
  - Pricing Configuration
    Pricing Configuration contains interfaces you use to create pricing plan components. Pricing plan components managed through this interface include decision tables, finance and service contracts, filters, price components including charges, discounts, grants, refunds, and forfeitures, and rate tags.
  - Offer and Bundle Configuration
    Offer and Bundle Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage pricing and rating components including bundles, offer priority generators, product offers, and product service types and attributes.
    - Bundles
      Bundles group one or more product offers together so they can be purchased as a unit. You can also create bundle-specific charges, grants, and discounts that override or supplement the existing pricing components defined in individual product offers. A Pricing User creates bundles and configures the template fields that a Pricing User is allowed to change to make bundles available as catalog items.
      - Create a Bundle
        Create a bundle to group one or more product offers allowing multiple offers to be purchased as one product.
      - Create or Change a Bundle Version
        Create a new version of a bundle if you need to change the bundle name, description, external ID, or purchase start or end dates.
      - Create or Change a Bundle Revision
        A new revision of a bundle creates a new copy of a selected revision or version. The operation does not create a new pricing file in the pricing plan.
        Compare Bundle Revisions
        Use the Edit Bundle Revision interface to compare bundles. You can view the differences between the current version of an object and the original object or the latest pricing repository version. This information is view-only and cannot be saved. However, you can save attribute changes, additions, and deletions in the original view or the comparison view by clicking Save. The comparison feature is supported for all tabs in this interface.
        Configure Bundle General Properties
        Use the General tab to specify general bundle properties.
        Configure Start/End Validity Dates and Times
        Use the Start/End tab to specify when the bundle revision validity starts and stops.
        Add Offers
        Use the Offers tab to add product offers to a bundle, which makes them available for purchase as a unit. You can also add bundle components.
        Configure Custom Fields
        If you use custom MDCs in your MATRIXX Engine, use the Custom Fields tab to manipulate bundle purchases using the custom MDC fields. For more information about extending bundles, see the discussion about extending bundles in MATRIXX Pricing and Rating.
        Add Template Fields
        Use the Template Fields tab to apply a catalog item template to the pricing item, select the template fields to include in the resulting catalog item, and add default values to those fields.
        Apply Cycle Data
        Use the Cycle Data tab to create a _glossary/purchased-item_cycle.html for triggering _glossary/recurring_processing.html. The purchased item cycle is independent of the balance cycle or billing cycle recurring processing that the rest of the MATRIXX Charging Server uses. The purchased item cycle for a bundle overrides that of any offers in the bundle, and the purchased item cycle in an offer overrides the Charging Server cycles.
        Configure Debt Balances
        Use the Debt Balances tab to specify the debt balances to use on the bundle. The balance must be a postpaid actual currency balance with unlimited credit.
        Add Parameters
        Use the Parameters tab to add _glossary/parameters.html to a bundle, and set the default values for those parameters.
        Configure Bundle Level Pricing
        Use the Bundle Level Pricing tab to configure single bundle pricing and define percentage (proportional) distribution for the bundle charges for each product offer. For more information about bundle price components, see the discussion about proportional charge bundles in MATRIXX Pricing and Rating.
      - Delete a Bundle
        Deleting a bundle removes all versions and revisions of the bundle from the pricing plan. Deleting a version removes all revisions of that version.
      - Bundle Properties
        Bundle properties can apply to the base bundle, the bundle version, or the bundle revision.
    - Offer Owner State Update Components
      An offer owner state update component implements the business logic that decides which object state update profile to select during rating for a given set of normalization parameters. An offer owner state update component can be configured to run during a Purchase, Activation, Recurring, or Balance Threshold operation. When an offer owner state update component is executed, a decision table is used to select an object state update profile to update the custom data/time field of the offer owner object (subscriber/group/device).
    - Offer Priority Generators
      Priority generators provide one value used in the dynamic offer priority formula that calculates the product offer with the highest priority. Priority generators apply numerical priority values to the decision table rows. If a decision table row is selected as a candidate for rating an event, its priority value is used in the dynamic offer priority formula calculation that MATRIXX Charging Application uses to find the offer with the highest priority value. Then MATRIXX Charging Application rates the event using the offer with the highest priority (highest numerical priority value).
    - Product Offers
      Product offers are the basis for the pricing components that subscriptions, groups, and devices purchase, either singly or in bundles.
    - Products
      A product represents the provisioning of a service type when a _glossary/catalog_item.html is purchased for a _glossary/subscription.html, _glossary/device.html, or _glossary/group.html. The products identify the service type, which in turn determines the pricing that can apply.
  - Normalizer Configuration
    Normalizer Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage normalizers, normalizer templates, and normalizer value lists.
  - Tax Configuration
    Tax Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage tax classes and selectors, and US taxation. You must have the Manage Tax domain user role to enable this menu.
  - General Configuration
    General Configuration has interfaces you use to create pricing plan components. Pricing plan components managed through this interface include announcements, product and system attributes and definitions, currency codes for rate tables, denial codes, field definitions for use in normalizers and rate tables, Diameter Final-Unit-Indication (FUI) profiles and generators, General Ledger (GL) transaction types and info generators, grace period profiles, languages, notification profiles, parameter definitions, pre/post-rating profiles and generators, SH Repository data, Subscriber Information Query components, tax classes for offer categorization, usage quota profiles and components, purge profiles, virtual fields, and usage triggers.
  - Application Configuration
    Application Configuration components are used by My MATRIXX for creating pricing plan items and are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.
- Policy Configuration
  Policy configuration components are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.

Compare Bundle Revisions

Use the Edit Bundle Revision interface to compare bundles. You can view the differences between the current version of an object and the original object or the latest pricing repository version. This information is view-only and cannot be saved. However, you can save attribute changes, additions, and deletions in the original view or the comparison view by clicking Save. The comparison feature is supported for all tabs in this interface.

Procedure

Click Compare Options and select one of the following options to display:
- Show me my changes against original object — Displays a table that lists the changes you made to the object compared to the original version of the object. A newly created or copied object that has not been committed to the repository is considered an original object. If this option is selected, edits to these objects show up as changes against an original object.
- Show me my changes against latest repository — Displays a table that lists the changes you made to the object compared to the latest version of the object that is saved in the pricing repository. If this option is selected, changes to a newly created or copied object that has not been committed to the repository are not shown.
Note: Compare Options is available regardless of whether changes have been made to the object. Compare Options is not available when:
- The object's status is deleted.
- The logged-in user is a commercial user. The Version Difference column does not display for commercial users because they cannot view the differences for a commercial object created for another tenant.
The changed items are indicated using the following legend:
- Solid green border around item — Added values.
- Red/white dotted line through item — Deleted values. When editing in the comparison view, you cannot make changes to values listed as deleted.
- Black dotted line box around item — Modified values. The new value is listed in the black dotted line box.
- Color blocks — Changes to row color values.
To return to the original view, select Return to normal view in the Compare Options drop-down menu.
