In this phase, SAP BRIM lets companies manage their billing and invoicing mechanisms for consumers based on what has been finalized in previous phases. If a company chooses a consumption-based model, it will calculate the tiers of consumption in which customers will be charged. For example, if a company follows an event-based model, it will define the business/transaction events that trigger charges for customers. In other words, this is when the companies decide how and how much their customers will be charged based on the business models they pursue. In this phase, companies define the charging methodology for their portfolios. In this phase, companies define how they will sell their products with the assistance of the contract management and/or quote management functionalities offered by SAP BRIM. Once this is done, the next phase, solution sales, kicks in. The first phase is design, in which SAP BRIM assists with the creation of a uniform design for a business and pricing model, along with the master agreement that will be used as the base for other downstream processes. It is a modular solution designed to optimize the business lifecycle processes of design, sales, delivery, and billing, as depicted in the figure below, which illustrates the lifecycle of the SAP BRIM solution based on its business benefits.
