M4 CDR Rerating

CDR Rerating

In M2 administrator is able to rerate previously made calls in case the tariff's rated weren't updated in time, so the user is billed properly to avoid any unjust money losses. In order to rerate user's calls you should first update his tariff's rates. Or choose a new tariff for him.
You can find the rerating functionality under BILLING -> CDR -> Rerating
The rerating functionality will prompt you with the following steps:

Step 1

The first step allows you to configure the period for the calls you are going to rerate, aswell as test the functionality and see the results without permanently changing the records in your database.

Available options:

• From - the beginning of the period you are going to rerate.
• To - the end of the period you are going to rerate.
• User - the user, whose calls are going to be rerated.

You can rerate in GUI, or create a background task, which will rerate your calls asynchronously(which happens to be much faster).

• Tariff for User - tariff which will be used for the selected user's devices - THIS IS USED IN TESTING MODE ONLY.

Step 2

The second step is basically a confirmation step. It displays the data you have selected in the first step and calculates the billsec for calls that are going to be related, aswell as the price for the Origination and the Termination points.

Displayed data:

• User - user whose calls are being rerated.
• Time period - the interval in which the calls are going to be related.
• Testing mode - shows whether the rerating is in testing mode.
• Total calls - the amount of calls that are going to be rerated.

• Total time - calculated billing time for the calls that are going to be related.
• Total Termination Point price - calculated price for Termination Points for the selected rerating period.
• Total User price - calculated price for the Origination Points for the selected rerating period.

Step 3

The third and final step displays the results of the rerating.

Displayed data:

• User - user whose calls are being rerated.
• Time period - the interval in which the calls are going to be related.
• Testing mode - shows whether the rerating is in testing mode.
• Total calls - the amount of calls that are going to be rerated.

• Total time
  • Prior rerating - shows the calculated billing time for rerated calls prior to rerating.
  • After rerating - shows the new calculated billing time for rerated calls after rerating.
  • Difference - difference between the two above.
• Total Termination Point price
  • Prior rerating - shows the calculated Termination Point price prior to rerating.
  • After rerating - shows the new Origination Point price after rerating.
  • Difference - difference between the two above.
• Total User price
  • Prior rerating - shows the calculated Termination Point price prior to rerating.
  • After rerating - shows the new Origination Point price after rerating.
  • Difference - difference between the two above.
