Explanation

After cross-catalog mapping, charge plans are stored exclusively in SAP Convergent Charging (CC) - CC is the dedicated billing engine responsible for rating and charging logic, and it owns the charge plan repository. The mapping process translates external product catalog structures into CC-native charge plans, which then live within CC's own data model.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (CC + SOM): SOM (Subscription Order Management) manages subscription orders and contracts, not charge plans - it references CC but doesn't store charge plans itself.
• C (SOM only): SOM handles the order and subscription lifecycle; charge plans are a CC concern, not a SOM concern.
• D (Convergent Mediation): Mediation handles raw usage data collection and transformation upstream of charging - it has no role in storing charge plans.

Memory tip: Think of the flow as Mediation → Charging → Billing. Charge plans live in Convergent Charging - the word "charge" appears in both, which makes the pairing easy to remember.
