Documentation
Definition
Specifies the alphanumeric key, maximum 6 characters in length, for a counter. A counter is the characteristic value of a counter type that is assigned to a contract.
Use
A counter has a counter reading that is updated by the application. The counter reading is a numeric value that specifies how often the counter has occurred during a certain period.
The application transfers the counter and the counter reading and based on them you can calculate a counter-based charge.
Dependencies
In Customizing for your application you can:
- Define counters
- Assign counters to a condition group type
When processing conditions, you can create a counter-based condition.
Example
You can use an item counter, for example, to have payment items counted for charge calculation. You can use an amount counter, for example, to have postage amounts added and charged to the customer.
