Explanation

After cross-catalog mapping, charge plans are stored exclusively in SAP Convergent Charging (CC), because CC is the dedicated rating and charging engine where all charge plan configurations are defined and maintained. The cross-catalog mapping process aligns external product catalog items to CC's internal charge plans, but the plans themselves remain in CC as their single source of truth.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (CC + SOM): SOM (Subscription Order Management) manages subscription orders and contracts - it consumes charge plan references but does not store the charge plans themselves.
• C (SOM only): SOM has no responsibility for storing charge plans; assigning this role to SOM confuses contract management with the pricing/charging layer.
• D (Convergent Mediation): Mediation handles the collection and transformation of raw usage data before it reaches the charging engine - it plays no role in storing charge plans.

Memory tip: Think "Charging plans live in Convergent Charging." The word "Charging" is the key - wherever charge plans are concerned, the answer traces back to SAP Convergent Charging, not the order management or mediation layers.
