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.
    - Working with Pricing Plans
      Use the topics in this section to help you plan, configure, and manage your pricing plans.
    - Contracts
      A contract defines either a finance contract or a service contract. A finance contract defines the terms and conditions of a contract. A service contract defines the terms and charges for a service, for example, voice or data.
    - Decision Tables
      Decision tables consist of a number of _glossary/normalizer.html columns that define a set of business logic (one or more condition sets) that can be reused in different circumstances. Decision tables can be combined with a set of results into any type of component table, such as a policy table, rollover table, rate table, _glossary/gl_transaction_type.html table and account table, filter, or priority generator.
    - ETC Schedules
      Create an early termination charge (ETC) schedule that defines the range units and upper boundary of the range.
    - Filters
      Filters are independent, reusable, pricing items that can be associated with balances, meters, subscription product offers, and notifications.
    - Payment Schedules
      You can create payment schedules consisting of different installment payments for different time periods of a service contract term. Optionally, specify a final payment to be applied in the last period of the contract cycle.
    - Price Components
      MATRIXX price components are reusable pricing items that can be included in any number of product offers. They include charges, discounts, grants, refunds, and forfeitures.
      - When Price Components Can Be Applied
        Price components are triggered during rating when an action occurs in the system that is associated with a product offer. The action determines whether the product offer is associated with a single event or for a session, which also affects how pricing can be applied.
      - Charges
        Charges create a debit to a subscriber's currency or asset balance. When there are multiple valid balance instances in a subscriber or group wallet, the one to which the charge is applied is the balance instance that expires first.
      - Discounts
        Discounts reduce the charges applied to a currency or asset balance and can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the charged amount.
        Purchase Package Discount Filters
        Configure filters to allow percentage discount price components from a catalog item in a purchase package to determine which charging price components the discount should be applied to other specific catalog items in the same purchase package.
        Create an Auto-Renew Discount
        Auto-renew discounts are applied to a balance when usage charges cannot be applied because the balance has expired or the balance has a zero amount.
        Create a Cancelation Discount
        A cancelation discount is applied to a cancelation charge when the product offer containing the discount is deactivated for a subscriber.
        Create a Cycle Arrears Recurring Discount
        Cycle arrears recurring charges are applied to a balance received during the previous bill cycle and applied to the end of the current cycle.
        Create a First-Use Discount
        First-use discounts are applied to a first-use charge when a specified balance is impacted for the first time during subscriber usage.
        Create a Purchase Discount
        A purchase discount is applied to a purchase charge when a subscriber purchases a product offer containing the discount.
        Create a Purchased Item Activation Discount
        Purchased item activation charges are applied when a product purchased in a pre-active state is activated.
        Create a Recurring Discount
        A recurring discount is applied to a recurring charge on a cyclical basis. In order for the discount to apply, it must be based on the same cycle as the recurring charge—balance cycle or billing cycle.
        Create a Resume Discount
        A resume discount is applied to a product offer or bundle containing a product offer.
        Create a Suspend Discount
        A suspend discount is applied to a product offer or bundle containing a product offer.
        Create a Usage Discount
        Usage discounts can be applied to one or more usage charges during rating.
      - Grants
        Grants credit a currency or asset quantity to a balance. They are only applied during non-usage rating. You can grant on purchase, purchased item activation, cancel, recurring, first-usage, or auto-renew, balance threshold, first use, resume, and suspend.
      - Refunds
        Refunds are only applicable to one-time offer cancellations. The one-time offers cannot be part of a bundle and can be refunded only once. After the refund is successfully processed, the corresponding purchase data is purged.
      - Forfeiture
        Forfeitures are only applicable to one-time offer cancelations. Configure a cancelation forfeiture to define how the purchase grant is forfeited for a one-time offer purchase.
      - Deposit
        Deposits are only applicable to purchase applications. Only one-time offers can have deposit components.
      - Add a Parameter to a Price Component
        Use the Edit Price Component Parameters tab to add a parameter to a price component and specify its default value.
      - Change a Price Component
        You can change a price component name, description, and application-specific properties. You can update the list of parameters assigned to a price component. You can add, remove, reorder, or change rate tables that are applied to it, and add or delete any applicable system attributes.
      - Copy a Price Component
        You can create a copy of a price component to make a near-duplicate copy of that item, which can save time during catalog creation. The new copy will contain the property values in the original item, except for the object ID, which is generated automatically by My MATRIXX.
      - Delete a Price Component
        Deleting a price component removes it from the pricing plan. If a price component is used by one or more product offers, you cannot delete it before removing it from all product offers that contain it. If a price component is in use and there is only one revision of the price component, it cannot be deleted.
      - Price Component Properties
        Charges, grants, discounts, refunds, and forfeitures have a set of generic properties common to all price components and additional properties specific to the process that triggers them to be applied (such as recurring cycles, first use of a balance, or service usage).
    - Rate Tags
      Rate tags are reusable pricing objects that you can set on rating formulas. MATRIXX Engine identifies charges that use rating formulas associated with the same rate tag and groups them together in the _glossary/edr.html it generates. An operator may use rate tags, for example, to separate charges for calling premium-rate numbers from charges for calling standard-rate numbers in the EDR.
    - Rate Tables
      Charges, discounts, and grants are comprised of one or more rate tables that define how and when a charge, discount, or grant is applied during rating.
    - Sponsorship
      Sponsorship lets you split a charge between more than one balance in a wallet using a sponsorship component added to a product offer. The sponsorship component includes a decision table that can select sponsorship profiles, each of which contains sponsorship rules.
  - 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.
  - 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.
