Universal Credits

Universal Credits are a type of entitlement used when a user needs to access a service for a finite amount of time. This allows you to access the needed service and only pay for what you use. They are purchased through the View Entitlements section of FactoryTalk Hub or through Hybris.
Universal Credits:
  • are shared across the FactoryTalk Hub organization
  • expire one year after purchase
  • are consumable, that is, once a credit is used it is no longer available
  • cannot be returned
  • are unallocated when purchased - the user assigns them to an entitlement
  • you can unallocate credits that you have previously allocated if they have not been consumed
  • credits can be split across entitlements
Each product within the FactoryTalk Hub organization has a defined meter rate, for example, two credits per hour. The time period of use can be defined in seconds, minutes, hours, or days, and are calculated to the nearest 0.01 of a credit. When  your balance is low a quote is automatically created for purchasing more credits. You can run negative balances in some cases.
