Charge Offer in PDC

Hello Guys,

In this post ,let us see how we can create a charge offer using Oracle PDC.

Before that let us understand what is PDC and its use in a single line.

"PDC is called as Oracle Pricing Design Center which can be used for configuring pricing information".

Open the PDC GUI and click on Create Charge Offer




1)Charge Offer: In Oracle BRM,Charge offer is termed as Product.

Give the name of the charge offer and select type of charge offer and applicable service type.

I have created a charge offer with name "test" of type "subscription" and with service "Telephony".

Refer to below screenshot





2) Rate Plan: In Oracle BRM,RatePlan is termed as Charge.

Create a charge by clicking on Add Charge button as shown below:





3)Balance Impact:I have created a balance impact of 1USD for every 60 seconds.




4) Validation :Click on validate button,so that it will come to work space as shown below:





5)Submission :Click on Validate and submit ,so that the created charge offer(Test) will be created in BRM and ECE.




6)BRM :Check in BRM database by using query

select * from product_t where name ='Test';

7)ECE : Check in ECE Cache by connecting to query.sh as shown below:

CohQL> select * from ChargeOffering where value().get().name='Test';

, assignedTo='TelcoGsmTelephony
, type =SUBSCRIPTION
, priority =0
, offerProfile =null

taxSupplierId : 0
}}

In ECE Cache,externalId value is BRM product poid and id value is pdc correlation  value.

In the next Post,let us see which processes are used to publish the "Test" charge offer to BRM and ECE.
