Add-on plans that do not match the criteria will not be shown in the list.

Removal of Bolt-On Add-On from the current Add-On group is not possible as it is currently part of a configured allowance. Remove the Add-On from the Bolt-On allowance screen under Service Plan [service_plan_internal_name #service_plan_id] first.
