Project #2419 – Discounts on Recurring Charges

We have created a way to give Discounts on Recurring Charges. This could be used to give Employees a Discount without setting up 2 sets of Tariff Codes with different amounts. The discount is figured during Step 6 of Month End Billing. The original Recurring Charges will show their normal charge and a Non-Recurring record is generated for the Discount Amount.

First you will need to decide the amount of the discounts. A new Tariff Code would need to be set up for each discount that you want to use. This Tariff Code would be added to Recurring Charges for each phone number that gets the discount. The Discount Amount is part of a new User Edit ‘RECURRING-CHARGE-%’.

There are two different methods that can be used with this User Edit:

- 1. Use ALL to indicate the Discount to be applied to All Tariff Codes EXCEPT the Tariff Codes entered in Fields 4 through 8.

- 2. Use SELECT to indicate the Discount to be applied to Only the Tariff Codes entered in Fields 4 through 8

Setup User Edit:

Field 1 = RECURRING-CHARGE-%

Field 2 = Tariff Code that was setup for each Discount Amount Example: XXXXX

This will be used to look at Recurring Charges to see which Customers Qualify for the Discount.

Field 3 = Discount Percent.Method.Tariff Code for Billing Example: 015.ALL .ZBL15 or 005.SELECT.

The Discount Percent – Enter a 3 digit percent followed by a decimal. (Example; 100 = 100% and 005 = 5%)

The Method would be ‘ALL ’ or ‘SELECT’. (If ALL is used, key 3 spaces after so it is 6 characters followed by a decimal.

The Tariff Code for Billing can be a Tariff you set up or can be left blank and the Tariff Code entered in Field #2 will be used. ** Remember to key leading spaces if the tariff code is not 5 long.

Field 4 through 8 = Tariff Codes to Include or Exclude based on the Method Used. Example: ABCDE.12345. 987.

Enter the 5 character Tariff Code followed by a decimal. If you need room for more tariff codes, set up an additional user edit with fields 1-3 the same. **Remember to key leading blanks if the tariff code is less than 5 long.

Examples:

For a 15% Discount to ALL Recurring Charges EXCEPT for Tariff Codes ABCDE and 12345 and using Tariff XYZAB for output on the bill.

Setup the User Edit as shown here.

For a 5% Discount to ONLY Tariff Codes ABCDE and 12345.

Setup the User Edit as shown here.

Since there is not an output Tariff Code entered in Field #3, the Tariff ‘SPR01’ from Field #2 will be used.
