Tip: Edit a Pricing for priced Plan Template? The steps required to edit a Pricing for a priced Plan Template are similar to those for editing a Pricing for a priced Plan.
Viewing Pricing Schedule
If you've edited the pricing for a Plan/Plan Template or set up several Pricings for a Plan/PlanTemplate, each of which Pricings will be active at different times, you can:
View a Pricing Schedule for the priced Plan/Plan Template.
Check the currently active pricing.
Review any future or historic pricing.
Note: The following procedure explains how to view the Pricing Schedule for a Priced Plan - the steps to follow are similar if you want to view the Pricing Schedule for a priced Plan Template.
To view the pricing schedule for a priced Plan:
1. Select Pricing>Pricing Editor. The Pricing page opens.
2. In the Product drop-down, select the Product for the priced Plan whose Pricing Schedule you want to view.
3. Select Add plans. A Select Plans popup appears.
4. Select the Plans you want to view the Pricing Schedule for and select Confirm. You are returned to the Pricing page where the Pricing grid for the selected Plans is shown:
An Active Pricing will show in the grid only if a Pricing has been configured that is currently active.
You can use the arrows on the Pricing Schedule calendar icon to bring past or future Pricings into the Pricing grid:
If there is an Historic Pricing for the Plan, the left-hand arrow on the calendar icon will be active and you can select it to bring that Pricing into the Grid:
If there is a Future Pricing for the Plan, the right-hand arrow on the calendar icon will be active and you can select it to bring that Pricing into the Grid:
5. To view the Pricing Schedule for a priced Plan, select the calendar icon:
The Pricing Schedule opens:
On the Pricing Schedule, you can:
Review Plan details and details of the Aggregation used for pricing. This include audit data showing which User first created and which User last Modified the Plan and Aggregation.
Read-off the start and end dates of any historic or future pricing.
Check which pricing is currently ACTIVE.
REMINDER! End dates for Pricing are Exclusive. Suppose you want to set up a Pricing schedule for one of your products that increases the charge for the highest pricing band in a tiered pricing structure on a month-by-month basis. When setting up this kind of pricing schedule for a Plan, please remember that the end date on a Pricing is exclusive. In the following example, it might look as though the second and third Pricings overlap, since the second is set to end on 02 Oct 2022 and the third is set to start on 02 Oct 2022. But this means the second Pricing ceases to be active for the Plan at midnight on 01 Oct 2022 and the third Pricing starts to be active at that point in time. If we had set the end date of the second Pricing to be 01 Oct 2022, this would have left a gap of one day where no Pricing was active for the Plan!
Tip: Access Pricing Schedule from Plan Overview page. Alternatively, you can access the Pricing Schedule for a priced Plan from the Plan Overview page under Associated Pricing - simply select the Pricing Schedule calendar icon.
Deleting Pricing
You can delete a pricing you've configured for a Plan in the Pricing Editor.
