Configuration Items

Quotas will be managed in specific configuration item classes in the General Catalog. This simplifies the handling of quotas. There is versioning of quota configuration items so that the latest version of the quota is always up-to-date and the quota history remains audit-proof.

The quotas are now divided into time-based and volume-based quotas. Time-based quotas are reduced by time units accounted in each article while volume-based quotas are reduced by 1 per tickets. This allows our customers to choose the mode in which they offer their contracts.

Since time-based and volume-based quotas have major differences in their specific handling, there are two separate system configuration settings specifically designed for each use case. Quotas can be added like any other configuration item. The class definition is the same for both quota types.
