Algorithm
Retail Tariff from Wholesale Tariff Rate calculation is done by the following algorithm:
1. The highest Rate in Wholesale Tariff for Destinations in Destination Group (DG) is selected. 2. This Rate is modified by adding a value or percentage to the price.
Example
Imagine we have a Wholesale Tariff with the following rates for the USA:
- Prefix 1, rate 0.01.
- Prefix 12, rate 0.02.
- Prefix 123, rate 0.03.
And we have Destination Group USA with Destinations (1;12;123) in it.
Now, if we want to create a Retail Tariff by adding 0.005 to the Wholesale tariff, we will have a price for USA Destination Group = 0.035.
For example, the highest Rate from Destinations is selected and modified.
Inner mechanics
The Wholesale Tariff line will have these values:
- connection_fee
- min_time
- increment_s
When transforming to Retail, these Advanced Rates are created:
| Based on which variable | FROM | DURATION | TYPE | ROUND BY | RATE | Comments |
| connection_fee | 1 | event | connection_fee | This record is only created when connection_fee > 0. | ||
| min_time | 1 | min_time | minute | min_time | rate | This record is only created when min_time > 0. |
| increment_s | min_time + 1 | -1 (means 'infinity') | minute | increment_s | rate | This record is always created. |
