• Key Concepts: 
  Usage charge is a type of charge in SAP Convergent Charging (IS-CC) that is based on the usage of a service or product. It is calculated based on the amount of usage and the rate associated with that usage. Usage charges are typically used for services such as telecommunications, where customers are charged based on the amount of time they use the service.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Convergent Charging, usage charges are created by defining a rate plan and assigning it to a customer. The rate plan defines the rate that will be used to calculate the usage charge. The customer's usage is then tracked and the usage charge is calculated based on the rate plan and the amount of usage.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a rate plan for usage charges, it is important to consider how the rate will be applied. For example, if the rate is based on time, it should be specified whether it is based on minutes or seconds. Additionally, if there are different rates for different types of usage, these should be specified in the rate plan.
