Bolt-On Add-On Overview
A Bolt-on Add-on is designed to compliment bolt on subscriptions and allow for additional mini quotas (included value) to be added on underneath. Bolt-on add-ons are associated with bolt-ons in order to extend the capability of the bolt-on.
Key Features
- Bolt-on add-ons can be set up to recur or not recur.
- Bolt-on add-ons have a BUY and SELL component like Bolt Ons, Package Plans, Service Plans, etc.
- Bolt-on add-ons can be purchased or acquired throughout the month and provide full bolt-on value for the remainder of the billing period.
- Some service types can automatically provision bolt on add-ons. This depends on the presence or absence of automatic provisioning between Emersion and the carrier/service provider.
- The multiple included value quotas provide for more than one type of quota to be defined. Up to four different types of included value are supported.
