Create a Global Product Offer
You can create global product offers that contain the standard pricing for a service or supplemental pricing for a service. Supplemental product offers contain pricing that can be applied in addition to the standard pricing during rating. When you provision your system with a global product offer, the offer is automatically available with no purchase of the offer required. The global offer is available during rating to the subscriber, group, or device that has a balance associated with the usage components defined for the global offer. Global offers can support only one version. The version can have multiple revisions.

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.
    - 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.
      - Product Offer Versions and Revisions
        You can create any number of product offer versions and revisions. Product offer versions are closely related, such as continuations of a product offer with new validity dates. Existing purchasers continue to use the older product offer version while you offer new purchasers the newer version. Revisions change existing product offers. For example, if you create a new revision with different pricing, both existing owners and new owners pay the new prices.
      - Create or Change Subscription Offers
        This section explains how to create, change, and delete subscription product offers. Subscription product offers provide access to a service that is paid for periodically.
      - Create or Change One Time Product Offers
        This section explains how to create, change, and delete one time product offers. One time offers are paid for immediately when the product offer is purchased.
      - Create or Change Global Product Offers
        This section explains how to create, change, or delete global offers.
        Create a Global Product Offer
        You can create global product offers that contain the standard pricing for a service or supplemental pricing for a service. Supplemental product offers contain pricing that can be applied in addition to the standard pricing during rating. When you provision your system with a global product offer, the offer is automatically available with no purchase of the offer required. The global offer is available during rating to the subscriber, group, or device that has a balance associated with the usage components defined for the global offer. Global offers can support only one version. The version can have multiple revisions.
        Create a New Version of a Global Product Offer
        You create a new version of a global offer if you need to change the offer name, description, external ID, start date, or end date.
        Create a New Revision of a Global Product Offer
        You create a new revision of an offer to change the offer contents, such as products offered, new pricing details. When a product offer is revised, the changes take effect for both existing and new customers.
      - Create or Change Finance Contract Offers
        This section explains how to create and change finance contract product offers. A finance contract defines the pricing components required to set up the contract.
      - Create or Change Service Contract Offers
        This section explains how to create and change service contract product offers. A service contract defines terms and charges for a service such as voice or data, allowing the subscriber, group, or device to gain additional benefits or discounts when they agree to sign a long-term contract.
      - Delete a Product Offer, Offer Version, or Offer Revision
        Deleting a product offer removes all versions and revisions of the product offer from the pricing plan. Deleting a version removes all revisions of that version.
      - Product Offer Properties
        All product offers have a generic set of properties that are displayed by default in the General tab when you open a revision of the offer in My MATRIXX. Click a tab to configure specific product offer properties.
    - 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.

Create a Global Product Offer

You can create global product offers that contain the standard pricing for a service or supplemental pricing for a service. Supplemental product offers contain pricing that can be applied in addition to the standard pricing during rating. When you provision your system with a global product offer, the offer is automatically available with no purchase of the offer required. The global offer is available during rating to the subscriber, group, or device that has a balance associated with the usage components defined for the global offer. Global offers can support only one version. The version can have multiple revisions.

Before you begin

Create the price components, parameter definitions, priorities, tax components, custom fields, and attributes that the global product offer will contain. If the product offer will not be supplemental, and you use priority generators to determine charging order, also create the priority generator. For more information about priority generators, see the discussion about offer priority generators.

Procedure

In Product Offers, click the Global Offers tab.
Click New Global Offer.
In Create New Product Offer:
1. In Name, enter a unique name for the new offer.
2. (Optional) In Description, enter descriptive information about its purpose.
3. (Optional) In External ID, enter any alphanumeric string less than 64 characters long to use as a unique ID for the pricing object. You can use the external ID for any reason that is meaningful to your implementation. External IDs are saved to the pricing configuration file and loaded into the Pricing database. The Subscriber Management API can use the external ID to purchase, cancel, and query product offers.
4. Click Create.
The new offer appears in Product Offer Versions.
Click Save.

What to do next

Create a version of your new offer to specify when it becomes effective. See the discussion about creating a new version of a global offer. Click New Version to start the process.
