Plan options

Plans can also have options. For example, these could be options on a subscription such as static IP addresses or email addresses. When a subscription is created the plan recurring charge always applies and additional options may be offered that can be selected as required to complete the creation of the subscription.

Plan options can have an:
  • Option recurring charge
  • Option setup charge

You can use options for included usage and recurring charges. For example, you may have an ADSL plan that offers different usage options. You could define one plan with three charging options, one of which must be selected, and allowance rules that are specific to the select option. This approach may be easier to manage than three separate plans.

Plan options are only available on subscriptions for the plan on which they have been defined.
