# ProductRatePlanChargeTier

> Use the ProductRatePlanChargeTier object to represent a tier of charges in a ProductRatePlanCharge object.

Use the ProductRatePlanChargeTier object to represent a tier of charges in a ProductRatePlanCharge object.

A product rate plan charge tier holds the prices for a product rate plan charge. Each product rate plan charge has at least one tier associated with it.

Don't confuse a product rate plan charge tier with tiered pricing. Tiered pricing is a charge model in which you create different charges or tiers for different quantites of an item. The tiers of usage fees in the Product: Family Plan example diagram represented tiered pricing. Each product rate plan charge in the diagram has at least one tier.

## Supported calls

You can use this object with the following calls:

* create() (WSDL 22.0+)
* query()
* update()

## Limitations

You can't create a ProductRatePlanChargeTier object independently of an associated ProductRatePlanCharge object.

You can use only one of the following fields in an API query of the ProductRatePlanChargeTier object:

* Price
* DiscountAmount
* DiscountPercentage

The following is a query that will result in an error:

```
select id, discountPercentage, price from ProductRatePlanChargeTier where ProductRatePlanChargeId = '402892a338501b82013850ca211f002c'
```

The following `INVALID_VALUE` error message:

`Can only use Price or DiscountAmount or DiscountPercentage in one ProductRatePlanChargeTier query.`

## Walkthroughs and use cases

Here are some common ways to use this object:

* Set up a tiered pricing charge model
