Guided Workflow Considerations and Limits
Review the record limits, supported policy types, and custom field constraints when you configure your usage product.
Required Editions
| Available in: Lightning Experience |
| Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions with the Revenue Cloud Advanced license or the Revenue Cloud Advanced license and the Revenue Cloud Billing license |
Considerations
- You can only edit the usage-related records until they’re in the draft state.
- You can add up to 3 mandatory custom fields in the workflow interface. The workflow interface only shows the required custom fields. Optional custom fields are hidden. Supported data types for custom fields include Text, Text Area, Number, Checkbox, Date, Percent, Currency, and Picklist. However, the Product Usage Resource object doesn’t support custom fields.
- For product usage resource and product usage grant records, the time for the effective start date defaults to 12:00 AM and the effective end date defaults to 11:59 PM, in your locale.
- If you have a custom page layout or custom record page, add the Configure Usage Properties action manually. See Customize Page Layouts and Create and Add Actions in Lightning App Builder.
- For ease of setup, Usage Management creates these policies with the names listed in the
table. If you already have existing policies with the same configuration, the workflow doesn’t
create new policies and uses the existing policies.
Policy Type Policy Name Configuration Usage Aggregation Policy Aggregate Usage Monthly by Sum - Usage Accumulation Method—Sum
- Usage Accumulation Period—Monthly
- Status—Active
Usage Grant Refresh Policy Renew Grants Monthly - Renewal Frequency—1
- Renewal Frequency Unit—Month
Usage Grant Rollover Policy Rollover Grants without Expiry - Rollover Allowed—selected
- Allow Rollover Expiry—unselected
- Maximum Rollover count—Empty
Usage Overage Policy Overage Chargeable - Chargeable—Yes
Usage Commitment Policy Lowest Commitment Fulfilled Rate - Commitment Fulfilled Rate—Lowest commitment
Rating Frequency Policy Rate Usage Monthly - Rating Period—Monthly
- Rating Delay Duration—Empty
- Rating Delay Duration Unit—Empty
Limitations
To manage scale, the workflow has these record limits.
- The guided workflow doesn’t support:
- Commitment-based usage products
- Inactive records
- Configuring rate management records, price books, and product selling models changes
- Customizing field layouts
- Configuring global rate cards that all products use if they’re using the same resource
- The Add Usage Resource page shows a maximum of 200 usage resources, and users can select a maximum of 10 resources at one time.
- The guided workflow supports a maximum of 20 Product Usage Resource (PUR) record creations.
- Each PUR supports a maximum of five Product Usage Grant (PUG) records.
