How Service Price Is Specified

When a service is instantiated, its price is specified on the basis of pricing model used. A pricing model can contain price conditions both with and without a service options assigned to them. In such case, service price will be determined in the following way:

• One service parameter with service option is copied to the instantiated service. A parameter with the service option selected for the instantiated service is used.
• All service parameters without service option are copied to the instantiated service.

For example, if a 'Silver' service was instantiated from the below captured service template, the following service parameters would be used:

• 100 MB Mailbox Size - service parameter corresponding to the 'Silver' service option
• Latency - service parameter without a service option
• Packet Loss - - service parameter without a service option

When the final price of an ordered service is then calculated:

• service parameter corresponding to the selected service option is used and checked against ordered quantity. If the necessary quantity specified for the service option is not met, the price cannot be calculated.
• service parameters without a service option are used according to the ordered quantity.
