SAP CC Translation Table

SAP CC Translation Table

In SAP CC ( Convergent Charging), translation table is used to store data that helps in rating/charging. It is used in Price Plan and can be used across multiple charges. This table is not visible to SAP CRM .

Below post shows once of the simple use case of translation table which used in the price plan of the charge.

The network provides the details to the SAP CC system in format of CITs and the fields may include what is the call duration in minutes and the mobile prefix number and other details. With the help of translation table from Prefix Number will determine the Geographical Region and from Region will determine the call rate per minute using another translation table. Once we get the region call rate per minute then the price plan can calculate the total price for the duration.

Let’s create a simple Chargeable Item Class.

Save it.

Now we are ready with our CIT class to be used later in the process.

Let’s create the first translation table.

Under tab- Table Schema provide the name and description.

Create input and output columns with data type as shown. Go to the tab Table Instance.

Create entries here.

Below few entries created and finally Save it.

Create another translation table as above with input and output columns and entries and save it.

So we have two translation tables ready.

Let’s create a charge.

Create a parameter as NumPrefix with type and initial value as 00.

In the charge plan add an internal reference parameter.
